Aye, I'm kinda thinking i will go with silver brakes to match my silver car.

Yet at the same time i could do red to match the interior.

Damn..now I'm tempted to repaint my calipers. I've got some stainless steel brake lines to install, that would be the perfect time to repaint them. I'll use your method
