I think anything other than red, black or silver looks cheesy. Go with red if you want some bling; black or silver is a little more subtle.

I have a daytona gray a6. I was going to go with a hotrod yellow. I had previous dark gray car and it really popped.

Red or yellow would go nice with a black car for sure. What style wheels do you have on your car?

I know that feeling, i held off on painting mine for abt 3-4 mths just becuz i wasnt too sure which color to get and there werent many guys around with pics so i can preview. I was stuck thinking if to go for the regular red on a blk car or if to change it up a bit.
Finally got it done in july and i opted for the red. Just looks classy. I got an audi rings decal on it as well in white. Here are a couple pics. I hope they can help u to decide and pull the trigger.
Gdluck!

with a dark color car, both red and yellow painted calipers seem to go well. Personally I have red on my car and really like the look:

Black G2 paint. Kept it simple...the brighter colors ain't for me and look tacky/non oem IMO.
