Pick a color any color...Will be doing a brake overhual next weekend and will be painting them at the same time.

Also. I peiced all the f+r pads and rotors i want and it came to around 165..I've had great luck with the cheaper rotors from pb's so im getting those, ceramics up front and plain jane p/r's in the rear.

On ebay they have 4 d/s rotors and f+r ceramic pads for 170 shipped...I generally dont like buying brake parts on ebay but this is tempting..I gotta see if its really worth it if they crack though..The rotors on my car have a very slight wobble and was considering getting them turned but i don't know the last time they were replaced.
 
i say the color of your car, or silver, but regular red would be too bright and clash with your paint, toreador red would look sweet on them.
 
Sh!t, i forgot about the high temp paint you're supposed to use..t red might not work..
 
just get the red and the black kit, and use the black to tint the red darker, you can make it match as far as shade of red, but they wont be metallic like your car paint, but that is an option for you, easy enough to do.
 
Im a firm believer of matching the color of the car to the calipers.
 
I know this prob wouldn't be ideal but could i used a high temp primer and then the t. red over it? I'm not sure if i'd beable to make the blk/red close enough of a match..If i cant it'll prob be sil or blk.
 
Also contemplating if i should just do the outside of it or the whole thing..My anal side says all of it..The inside will prob just get beat up and chip neways.. I could still make it look nice by doing everything but the inside.
 
Hey man,I just used regular dupont automotive paint for mine. I haven't had a single problem with them. No chipping,flaking,peeling,nothing. Its been fine. I've even warped a set of front rotors and the caliper paint held up fine. I say T Red,Color matchum!
