Question What color do i paint my brake calibpurs?

Ive been thinking about this for a while. The red brembro thing is kind of worn out. The blues and oranges look kind of ricey. What about bronze or gunmetal? I have a friend with a gunmetal hatch, and he painted his rotors the gunmetal to... What do you guys think about gunmetal or bronze? My car is black so i want it look nice. Thanks in advance!

Its not worth it... they'll be filthy and baked in brake dust in 2 months.... so gunmetal sounds like a plan, you won't notice when they get covered in ****.

you can paint the center hub where the rust builds up if you're careful.

when i did my rear disc conversion, the center of the honda discs came painted with ZRC or some kind of grey primer. there was a slight overlap of primer where the pad made contact with the disc.. it took a while to burn off and smelled tasty.
