for the stopping power its awesome the AKEBONO ultra ceremic pads bite very good.
for the painting Krunk you mean the calipers? or the rotor? the rotor came in with silver ZINC that mean there wouldn't rust ,the calipers i used G2 brake paint that was done 5 years ago.

you can go to Ebay and search G2 brake paint its will pull up tons of them many diff. colors. http://search.ebay.com/search/search...aint&category0=
and the painting job is very easy just sand it with sand paper and clean it good with brake cleaner then brush it on waint 40min. to 1 hour for drying time.
