Default GXP brake calipers to red?

I picked up a black gxp last week and then noticed a black srt8 charger at lowes and those red brembo's really stand out.
So I was thinking about painting my brembo's red. I found a company that sells the high temp brembo white logo stickers.

Do it. Are you gonna spray them or use a brush on kit? Yes pics are mandatory, especially with you owning a GXP

We recently had a guy bring his Aston Martin to us and it had silver calipers in with black Aston Martin decals on them. He has us paint them red, then CNC "Vantage" into them. He was very happy with the results.

Was the Aston Martin black? I bet it looked awesome! An Aston DBR9 is my dream car.

Red calipers looks great behind chrome wheels on a black car. Definitely do it, but do it right like Livernois did with those Aston Martin calipers.

It was silver, but they still looked excellent.

OK, so I posted pictures with red calipers and gold. Now can't decide which I like better. I will put Brembo black decals on later.

Duplicolor makes a really nice brush on red caliper paint. Much better then engine paint (high temp).
