TarHeel 944S, if you want to do 'em in red, here's a pic of calipers on an early car done in red. Maybe a little "rice" but behind the Fuchs it's actually pretty subtle.
Just clean up calipers and rotor hats with brake cleaner and spray or brush with High Temp paint. Paint is durable if you don't bang the caliper removing/installing the wheel.
You could do them in silver but IMO that's a little too subtle!

If I could have anything I wanted-it would be the gold anodized color of the current Brembo's (on the 350Z).

Do you have a picture of your rotors with the wheels on?
Also, what paint did you use?
Thanks!
