Default Painting Brake Calipers

Im thinking of painting my brake calipers while I change out my rotors. I hav a red TA and Im thinking of painting them red as well with either a black bracket or a silver one. Which would look best? Or should I paint the caliper black?

I helped my friend paint his red BMW's calipers red, It looked pretty good, and we did both the calipers and brackets in red. BTW, we used the brush-on kit on his car, and IMO, I prefer the spray-on variety.
