What color shall I paint my brembos?

Since the rear brakes that come with my swap has a few knicks on the paint, I decided to paint the whole set.

Options already given to me is a dark grey with metallic flake and sedona red brembo logo.

Cyan.

Edit: Black Cherry Pearl might look nice too and it's a factory color.

^ Most colors I've seen end up with a brownish hue after a hard track day. Strip the paint and clear coat.

All depends...do you want them to be all bling-bling and very noticeable...or more stealth and inconspicuous? Also, how much detailing are you willing to live with to keep them shiny and new looking?

In California, I always chosen as plain/matte grey OEM looking color for parts as possible...for easy of clean up (or lack thereof) and because last think I need is a set of shinny glittering parts attracting attention of cops and ricers
