Default Caliper Paint Color

Since im installing/removing a lot of suspension parts and brakes, i am considering painting my brake calipers. Also what color should i go with?
I was thinking black cause clean is kinda the way i want to go. But i think red would look nice also. NO YELLOW FOR SURE! Yes or No??
My rims are: 17" black 8 spoke wheels and 15" rota subzeros ( i have two complete sets)
and what brand paints should i go with?

por-15 makes a gray intended for exhaust manifolds that holds up to heat,it also brushes on and looks like you sprayed it.It's intended to be painted over rusty manifolds as long as they are clean so it works well on rusty calipers,Ive used it on many disc brake swaps over the years.

I think red is a very good idea. But i could imagine how ugly it'd look like if i had my 17's on.
I think red would look very good with my set of 15" rotas though.
+1 RED
