What colour?
I reckon gold.
But they dont do it (VHT) in caliper paint, only wheel paint.

Hmm :?

You can get VHT caliper paint in yellow, I know it's not gold, but it's not bad. Needs lots of thin coats though to build up, as it has bugger all pigment- like most yellow these days.
Or go the red..... 8)

I'm with the Doc - go for yellow.
I was going to go for yellow, but with yellow mags I'm going for 2nd choice (red).

sorry guys, but I reckon caliper paint is pointless!

Disc brakes are VERY dirty, so if you paint a caliper red or yellow, they will look dirty pretty quick. Dirty calipers look bad IMHO.

I did mine in matt black high temp paint.

I'm with JAM, the calipers look good when all nice and freshly painted, but soon look crap
after a few hundred miles. I'll be going satin black when I get round to it.
