I think I'm going to paint mine black, it makes them look cleaner, and it also gives the car a nicer loook. Red stands out too much.

Yeah it's good to think a lot before spending that kind of money.

Take your time and do it right the first time.

IMO, the only colors to paint OEM non-Brembo calipers are black to make them disapperar or silver so they look stock without being dingy or dirty looking. Highlighting stock calipers isn't doing anything but showing off stock calipers.

Tim's big, red calipers are something to show off though.

The color of yours are even better.
If I had the patience I would have ordered something unique like yours too. Maybe down the line they will be changed.
