Not sure how that would look. Do you think red would look good being you have a purple car? Just a thought. I would maybe do gloss black or something not as noticeable. Just my opinion.

Personally, I would find the Duplicolor can that matches your paint code of the body of your car, and do both the calipers and the drums in that color.
I suppose it needs to be high temp paint, though, right?

Yeah I doubt they make high temp Dark Cherry Metallic. Silver if ANYTHING on the brakes. I think red would clash with the DCM, but that'* my uneducated thought only. I've never seen it in person.

Don't do it, they're ugly as sin.
I ended up painting mine silver. You could alway paint them black to hide the rust.

I spray mine black. Covers the orange color and keeps them lookin' pretty nice. Just used krylon chassis black (satin finish). They kind of disappear instead of showing up orange. Makes the wheels look nicer.
