Did mine last summer and spent a little time on them. You'll see the aluminum/metal color I painted. I also painted this on the inside of the hub area. Wheels look so much nicer. Wife was surprised when I painted the calibers on her vue red. LOL.
I used a chrysler red/orange for the paint. Just seemed to pop much better the regular old red.

^Agreed, overall though looks much better..why would someone paint their brakes green on that color car is beyond me.
I always take everything apart when I paint things like brakes but that's just me, I'm **** about things like that and kind of a detail freak.
For example here's how my daily turned out after I blew everything apart and painted everything separately. Looked nasty as hell before, brake dust everywhere and the aluminum calipers were all oxidized
