You don't need to buy a new gasket the old one will be fine. I did not buy a new one for mine and it is fine. And just make sure you use the real high temp. paint. I know there is a 500 degree one but i would go with the 1200 degree one.

Also what color paint do you guys think i should go with? Im also painting my calipers and dont know what color would be good.... any thoughts??

nope, just gotta make sure you sand it all down so the paint has something to hold onto

I went from 320, to 600, to 1200 to 1500 (I think) it was a long time ago. The color is your choice, I went with silver, and it looks fine. And I think i am going to paint my calipers blue, I have seen a lot of blue calipers and they look real nice.
