I've always liked white on blue. Then get some red H stickers to match your calipers.

That came out really good Obert, excellent work. The problem I have is that it doesn't last. After some brake dust, washes, sun and it's flaking/dulling away. Rattle can just doesn't hold up to daily wear and tear.

Yea I hope they last awhile,I sanded them front and back,3-coats of primer front and back,5-coats of TW paint front and back,and 3-4 coats of clear coat front and back !!!!! So I hope they will last a while !
