They look alot better painted than rusty. I should've made mine silver but they look cool red. I dont know if you've seen these pics but here they go. I used High Temp spray paint instead off caliper paint which costs alot more and comes in smaller cans.

i think you should. just use high-temp paint. yellow reminds me of crash test dummies (not the music group), blue wouldnt look too good with black unless its a lighter blue. white is too plain. maybe purple, green?

I got the paint from R & S Strauss. You can paint whatever you like except the rotors. First I put the car on jackstands, then I removed the brake pads, cleaned the calipers really good with brake cleaner, then I put newspaper and tape on everything I didnt want to paint, I primed everything I was going to paint, then I painted it, waited until they dried, reinstalled brand new brake pads (you might as well), and put it all together. I did the front on a Saturday and the rear on Sunday. Its too much work for 1 day.
