Default Bracket and rotor color on an NBM

Im currently in the process of polishing my calipers(1 down and the other 3 half way done(Takes FOREVER btw)). So I need some opinions on what color I should paint the brackets and the rotors on a NBM Z28, I was thinking black cause its universal. Also, I think Im goin to put some caliper decals on, not sure on the color of those either(will prolly match the paint). Chroming the brackets would be awesome, im just not sure on the cost or where to get that done; trying to keep this a low budget project.

What do you guys think? There's pictures of my car on my fquick if that helps(link in sig).

Well I decided to go with black rotors and brackets and polished calipers... and dont get me started on the number of hours I spent polishing those stupid calipers either, wont ever do that again! Here are the pictures of everything as of now, got decals coming in the mail atm and the new wheels will be here tomorrow so Ill get more pics as soon as it all arrives! And after I get all the dust off the car!

p.s. These pictures dont justify how good the calipers look

I think the bracket should be NBM as well as the decals.

Thinking bout doing the same but I hear it a PITA to do.

I thought about doing NBM but figured it would be hard as hell to match the color, and ya it was a PITA to polish them!! Honestly, I prolly spent 40 hours on them, wont ever do that again
