Arrow How would you go about painting Calipers for LS400? Whats a good color?

I just bought a LS400 BBK from someone off craigslist.. Unfortunately there were some spots that need repainting. Instead of touching up the spots, I rather it be a fully clean look. How would you guys prefer to do this? There's also a TRD decal on it so I'm not sure what to do about that or replace with a Lexus decal after repainting? Also I have a white SC, what color would you guys think would look best with this setup? Or should I keep it red?

Should I have someone powder coat it? Or should I just respray it with caliper paint?

I painted my LS400 calipers with high temp silver caliper paint from duplicolor. I used spray paint because it was the easiest thing at the time. The paint has held up fine for the past few years with only a few chips if I hit the caliper with a rim.

As for the color I would say go Black, Orange, or if you're daring go Cyan.
