   red would be fine mate.
   
   get some hammerite heat resistant paint , a tin of the 250ML stuff should do it and paint it on

    I was going to do mine last weekend.
    
    Did attempt to start... rubbed down one caliper and then the rain started.
    
    So back to square one.
    
    Hardly looks like its going to be a heatwave tomorrow!!
