I had a feeling you would give me that pic.
You know what, I would keep the disks Gold and paint the callipers Red.

To mush Black with the Red does not suit it to well even though it's used in Nature with things like Coral snakes or flying bug type things. It's a Danger sign warning you stay away.
I would leave it the standard colours but change the Brakes to Red, especially as they are Brembo. IMO tha's what looks best.

Been out with the paint booth sorting out the fork lowers and putting a coat of paint on the calipers
I will be getting the calipers blasted so a quick coat of any paint will do to show the effect
This is Hammerite special materials undercoat
Hammerite smooth satin black
