I used the Blue Duplicolor on my sonic blue. On their website it's a light blue, but the can I got was a deep blue. I painted them and they look really good. I'd show you pictures, but I don't have any and I still don't have my car back from the shop for the new window.
I wanted something that would stand out and I wanted to try to go with the same scheme. it definitely does and I recomend it for sure!

You could always try a mix. This is a photochop for someone that asked.
I prefer non-black. Black is hard to see.

Well got mine painted today. I went with Red Dupli-color. As others have said, the brush stinks. It is a brush for applying adhesives, not really meant for paint. Anyway, they are drying now. I'll take pics later.

Well here is a pic of mine. Sorry it is crappy but it is dark out so I had to take this in the garage. Also, I didn't remove my brakes. I am going to buy some black paint and paint the back of the brake pads for a cleaner look.

It took me about 2 hours to do the one side of my car because I took the calipers and outside pads off, cleaned eveything with the brake cleaner, scuffed all parts with 400 grit sand paper, painted the back of the pads black, and took all the stainless steel clips off so they wouldn't get painted. I know
