+1 to black!

I'm not a huge fan of painting non sport brakes to make them look like they're something they're not. Even moreso sticking an '///M' decal on them! But, to each their own. If a guy wants to put the time in & he enjoys the look then more power to him.

I painted the front calipers on my F10 535i purely because the unfinished look on those huge single piston calipers is just hideous, imo.
Oh, I also went with Zimmermann Sport Z rotors (drilled) because I like the look. I have no illusions that they'll be providing me any better stopping power. I call the look: "Poor Man's Sport Brakes"...lol
