I read (saw) the post on painting the calipers. Great thread BTW and need some advice/opinions.

I have an LX, so I have drums on the rear. They looked crappy when I picked it up from the dealer 12 days ago, and I knew I would be painting them soon.
The car is Nighthawk Black Pearl, should I paint the drums and calipers silver or black. Because the drums are a larger surface area and show more, I don't want to get to flashy using the red. I don't think it looks good on drums.

What do you think?

Also for you Canadians out there...Can Tire sells the same Dupli-Colour kit that eBay has for $22.99 CDN. Pick it up and save on shipping.
