The CT ceramic brake paint kits also come in black.... yellow gets covered in brake dust really quick, But if it's a temp to see what it's like.... Mine was done black calipers and silver caliper brackets yeah the kits come in blue, silver, black, red, yellow. I do plan on keeping the car pretty clean so hopefully it wont be a big issue for brake dust. I might just try the yellow. Worst case scenario I have to go buy a red kit. Im just thinking the yellow Might be half decent. Maybe get black to do my brackets or just all out yellow. lol =]

I vote yellow will look like a hot dog. UHHKK I had mine done mine black with VHT caliper paint, seeing as stock is not so big and you dont want them to stand out. Then I realized behind a black wheel it looked better than rust but you couldnt tell there were disc brakes back there, and the wheel didnt pop. Went over them with the paint I used to do the bronze lip, looks 9485384 X better. They dont pop a ton and they match my wheel colour combo, and also give the wheel more depth. Anyways I vote black, because your wheels are silver Therefor they wont pop, but they will be visable. Red is overdone, but matches your car. Whichever.

I recommend the VHT spray can Cheaper than the kits from what I remember. Ive had no problems with it, its even on the exhaust mani heat sheild. 1 Can will do all 4.For the front I just unbolted the caliper, removed the disc,put holes through a junk rag, then put the caliper over the rag. The rag will then mask off the hub supension ect, use some tape on the brake lines, and a bunch of plywood, more rags, carboard, tape to make shure there is no overspray. I cant remember the rear so well, but the discs werent coming off, so I took out the brake pads, and shoved rags inside the caliper, and masked the rest of the disc.
