Just paint it a nice color that will make the car look better overall, dont paint them a color that sticks out like a soar thumb ie red, green, and blue

Igor...your first pic, the inner "ring" of the rotor that is rusted, you or anybody for that fact, think that can be painted as well? Im not talking about the part where the lug bolts are, but the inner most circle/ring of the rotor. Im gonna paint my brakes, but wasnt sure if painting that part was smart or not.

Or how about these -- http://www.calipercover.net/index.ph...icle&Id=325939

Got mine done yesterday with the duplicolor kit, the brush is pretty cheesy - it started shedding bristles while I was using it. The paint seems good though. With the amount of paint I used I have enough to do about 10 cars.

How are the decals holding up??? I've got some and were wondering if it was worth putting them on.

i didn't see anyone with blue calipers. What do you guys think? I definitely like the silver too, but I'm happy with my blue.

Our '02 SE is Majestic Blue, we painted the calipers Ford Engine Blue, the original color from the 1960s (which is also good because block paint takes the heat well). It's a nice accent.
