Default Brake Calipers - Any pics of black or silver?

Ok, got a silver WRX blobeye. Standard rear brakes and grooved fronts, but standard size and grey (anthracite?) standard 17" wheels.

The brake calipers are starting to look tatty so I want to give them a lick of paint. I don't want to go red or yellow so the thought is either black or silver. Car is standard other than the grooved fronts, so it will look like a 1.1 Max Powered Nova if I go for mad coloured calipers.

Anyone got any pics of black/silver calipers they can post so I can decide? Probably going down the smooth hammerite route and then redoing the logos in white with paint/stickers.

Also, has anyone painted the brake hub, as the fronts are starting to get a rusty coating, even though they've only done a few hundred miles?

I did exactly this last weekend, however I have no pics. I will try and get some tomorrow. Painted the calipers gloss black, logo in silver and the discs in black. really tidies things up and improves it over red I had before.
