The closest to yellow I've seen was a bronze/copper by LeoVampire
I'm sure there's another one with yellow calipers out there

The only person that might have Yellow is Embassy

Painted mine blue to match door sills and rear bumper inserts on a silver birch. I think yellow would look interesting on a Black Marauder.

These are far better - 1) they have Brembo on them, 2) no painting and 3 ) CHEAP;

I did the same. No sense attracting attention from the guys who write the speeding tickets lol.

Silver might look good on a Black car... I need to do mine soon. Yellow, for me, might be a little too loud. My other consideration is red or shiny black.

Wouldn't even do gloss black, I did it on my calipers and after the second day they were covered in brake dust and looked like crap again, just like with a black car, unless its perfectly clean it looks dirty
I will be going with red if I ever get a spare set of calipers to swap

I have silver on the blue car and they look good. They are very low-key ; they have a simple, clean look that doesn't really call attention to them.

Are these easy to remove when you need your pads changed???

Looks real good. I did mine in silver as well but it didnt last long. Maybe I didnt do it right but the silver vanished pretty quickly do to brake dust and dirt.

Paint 'em black so there's no distraction from rims...
