Ok, I've decided to paint my calipers and drums before the ohio winter takes its salty toll on the new ride. I have a white trd sport, thinking red, but what color did everyone do?

I painted mine black, although it only seemed to last one season before it rusted through on the drums anyways.

Look up "G2 Caliper Paint System"
Pricey, application more difficult than paint, but good stuff.
IIRC: 6 month shelf life, so check date on package if purchased
