Default Painting Drums/Calipers

So, I'm going to be installing all new brake components, and want to paint my drums and calipers.
What color do you all think I should go with?
I'm leaning towards either black or red

j/k red would look cool in the front and maybe black in the back

I don't think I would paint drums red but rather black. The calipers I would go with red for sure. I had a Lexus SC300 the I painted the calipers red and went with drilled and slotted rotor, it looked good.

Red on the calipers, would match your truck perfectly, I think the painted drums would fade, go black on the drums, I can see the red on the drums turning pink over time
