Brush on. That's a tough choice on a silver car...black would look cool, but just clear coating the silver would look pretty sweet too DANG! haha.

Personally I kept mine plain and love them, because that is how they came.

But the silver GT above with the FR's and the red...looks sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the duplicolor red brush on kit for the caliper. It has lasted for 2 years without a single chip or scratch in it.

On the rotors, i used duplicolor engine paint. I had to tape off the pad swept area and bag the caliper and then sprayed the rotor on the car.

The Spray paint is the exact same thing as the brush on. except your using a spray can.
