Black, make sure to use high temp or brake paint or else the paint won't last more than a month. Be sure to paint the heat shield too.

The sell brake paint kits that includes high temp paint, paint brush, brake cleaner, and wire brush. Just buy some clear to apply after you are done.

Do you want them to better blend in (black) or better stand out (red)? Your choice.

[I went for black myself]

G2 is arguably the best caliper paint system: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/g2/caliper_paint.jsp

Just remember that whatever product you use, as in any painting, it's all in the preparation.

I just painted mine last weekend - I'll post pic's when i get off work.

I went with Gloss Black. Looks awesome

I think shiny hot red would look great, not that shiny hot black wouldn't look great, too, but I think red would give it a really cool touch.

I used one of Mazdaparts Caliper Paint kits in red and got some high temp resistant stickers to put on them and they look stock. Very nice finish.

BTW, my car is black with red calipers.

Here is a pic.

Best regards,
