The back thing is called a "drum".

I would say paint them both black, or the front caliper black and the rear drum a metalic color, like silver / aluminium so it appears to the quick view like its a disc.

I agree, but the stock color of the calipers are silver....I think red stands out in a good way... the only thing is that there are hella people with red calipers...
