Burnt Copper Brembos and valve cover with silver Evo VIII?
I didnt like my valve cover too much so i shaved it and prepped it for paint, and I'm going to do the same with the brakes as they are faded and look bad... I'm thinking of spraying them down with either burnt copper or chrysler red. Here's what the red looks like:

and here's what the burnt copper looks like:

What would you pick if you had the choice between these two? Apex Silver evo, and dark rota g-force rims are on the car right now.

You would have to make sure that its a ceramic based caliper paint...preferably a 2 stage like the G2 kit. Unfortunately from what I've seen the colors are limited to basic red, black, blue, green...etc and to be honest only the red and black look decent IMO. Your other option is to brake them down (remove the pistons..etc) and send them to be powder coated and cleared. You'll have a much larger selection of colors that way.
You can paint the valve cover as well, but I would lean towards powder coating that as well since its going to be more durable.
That's my 2 cents anyway.
