Painted Brembos... What color???

Ok so my brembos are starting to fade and look really crappy and now would be the perfect time to paint them. I'm really indecisive on what color I should go with, I have a 2010 Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat Balt... and would prefer a color that stands out! I love the way a crystal red Vette looks with the blue calipers (think it's called wave blue metallic or something along those lines) but that is a Vette.

Any ideas?

I had Red on my white SS but Red is overdone. That blue or white would look great.

I agree Red is on everything and want to do something different I was thinking white or black but I do want something that will pop a little bit, I'm going to do black wheels.

It's not a perfect match but the ones on houseofgrafix.com are the ones most of us use.

And the paint is not color match but retro red in the metal specks spray paint by duplicolor I think.

High heat primer, red, then high heat clear.
