Yeah, I shouldn't have to worry about covering the whole car doing brush on. I saw a kit on eBay that looked pretty good.
dupli color has a $20 brush on kit that i bought and haven't used, but is supposed to be good, it is at most auto parts stores

I went with white on mine. Absolutely love it! Never seen another car with it, it isn't overpowering, and it looks good with the rest of the white on my car. I have a few very minor rust spots that are showing through and can only be seen on close inspection. I think next time I do the brakes (or get really bored...doubt it though) I will redo them and take some time to do a better job.

Unfortunately for you I don't have a camera to show you how they turned out :(

I also thought long and hard about yellow, but the white pinstripe was already on my car and it probably would have looked akward...
