You can get any color in high temp paint practically.

You can even get the paint in hot pink

If you really wanted them body colored, I would go with powder coating them though. Its expensive, but will never wear off like paint will and will look brand new for as long as you have them.

What color is your car anyways.

Oh, and I already told you my thoughts Binh in the CL forums, black.

I would use high temp paint just to be on the safe side. That way it can resist fading and cracking cause brakes can get really HOT!
