Default brake painting

i am preparing to sand my front and rear brakes. the rear brakes im painting black but im not sure about the front calipers. should i paint them black or red. i think red might look neat, but i have bronze c8's and there just the stock brakes so there not that large. any opinions, also, what kind of paint should i use?

Paint both the same color. Red or black is fine. Silver might be cool too. Most people will tell you not to paint it red. I did that on my fronts and they came out decent.

Try to use high temperature engine paint.

that just looks like regular old spray paint. The anodized paint would look cool if you smoothed the brakes down though.

Bad lighting, but they look exactly like what Angry just posted, but in red.
