I wouldn't do red. Maybe think about other colors if you really "must" paint them, or use the paint money to buy some Swift springs.

Thanks for flipping the pic for me. I would actually get coilovers rather than springs, if I do decide to lower the car. But I'm not sure whether I should lower it.

Burnt copper would stand out, but in a good way

IMO if you're painting it don't do red since it's very common.
I did Infiniti purple color to make it look like OEM.
