Are those bowties really on those rotors or photoshopped?

Agree with Coolarrow, Red if you are a Z06 Wannabe or infact are a Z06. Black otherwise. Body color seems a bit faddish IMHO. No matter what your choice, polish CORVETTE to silver. Whatever you do is fairly easy to change. So go with your heart.

Stock ZO6 calipers are powdercoated. That's what I have cause I want to be a ZO6 poser apparently
. Powdercoating withstands heat far greater than paint will.

Now all we need is some fake rear brake ducts, FRC conversion, ZO6 wheels, and badges and we will be on our way
