i personally love the blue and black combo. and it would give you something different then red which will help stand you apart. i would have done a brighter blue if my wheels had not had the red stripe on them.... but a bright mid color blue would look awesome in my opinion... for the caliper atleast... i would keep the brake dust sheild black as that is not an attractive peice and it will continue to get brake dust so keep that hidde. 
I hadn't thought that at all... Could be, could be...

Black looks nice and stealthy. I'm planning to paint mine too, but have no idea what color to go with. It's a toss up between red, black or silver. It's good to have a pictures of calipers painted black. What hot rod you have in mind. You should definitely post pics up. Love hot rods and muscle cars. Too bad I don't have the patience, know how or money to complete mine.
