Re: Paint brakes?
Keep in mind that the drums can use the VHT spray paint since you can bake 'em in the oven. Rotors middles aren't a problem either. Same thing.
But an epoxy kit is best for the caliper since that doesn't need to recommend heat curing and you can't bake 'em without taking out the seals.
-EDIT My votes on yellow.

Re: Paint brakes?
Black is easier to keep clean but it's up to you on what you want. I painted my CR-V calipers red and they got dirty from brake dust in no time where as the bracket, which is black doesn't look to bad. The rear drums look fine. I put a red stripe around the rim to dress them up a little.
As far as paint, I used high temp engine paint and primer. It seems to look better. Regular paint is ok but brake cleaner tends to damage the finish.
