Painting Calipers / New Rotors

On my gold 99 2.3 CL, I am going to paint the calipers with G2 kit. Then put ACURA high-temp vinyl lettering and Acura logos on them.

Should I take this time to put on new drilled and slotted rotors and new pads? Same size rotors as stock, or would bigger help? Maybe that's not possible.

On the paint color, I can't decide.

I would say black as far as the color.
As for the rotors and pads. If you have the dough get them. If you don't then its probably not a necessity. Depending on the wear you may want to replace the pads and have the rotors turned.
Good luck! Post pics when you're done.

i would go with either black or silver...clean looking. if you have the money the dual piston caliper is a nice upgrade for a good price. approx 350 for new rotors pads and dual piston calipers. look up rockauto.com they have decent prices.
