I'm installing new powerslot rotors but should I paint my gt500 brembo calipers red or stay with black?

Most people are going to say red ("it's pretty" "it stands out") but I believe you're going to be doing a LOT of cleaning or it's just going to look dirty and people will really notice it since its red. Ford makes them black for a reason and that reason is called brake dust.

I'd go black, with it being a black car and kinda clean looking.

Red for sure. Mine aren't brembos, but I love them. They really set my car off perfectly. And I haven't ever cleaned them. Don't seem to get break dust on them.

Thanks for your opinions. I changed my brembo brake pads to hawk pads because the brembo brake dust was ridiculous.

I'd go with black, Red seems to be overplayed to much today

No, seriously, black. The red is distracting, and there's nothing else on it besides black and chrome. The black in your setup is just so right. The red is too distracting.

But it's still 3 votes.
