Black. IMHO, anything else looks cheap....and when they get dirty and we all know that they will......it will look even worse. Black.

Painted calipers need to remain on Brembo, Racing Brake, Endless, StopTech, Rotora, Wilwood, Etc.

I agree this would look pretty sharp, but I'm not sure where I could get ahold of some copper red paint that would stand up to braking temps.

That sounds very cool, do you have any pics? What kind of paint did you use?
