How things have changed over the years! Decades ago normal practice was to apply Copaslip to the back of the pads (as well as the pins and pad guides,) and rely on anti squeak springs to prevent any noise. So that's something new I have learned from Steve, though I hope I never have to put it into practice.2 points

Hi the most common cause of this is people grease the backs of the pads most brake pads come with an anti squeal pad on the back of the pad its like a film of rubber which when the pads are first used bonds the pad to the surface of the calliper stopping the pad from moving, therefore if you have greased that surface they move when the pads are released and squeal.

Hi the only way round this is take it to a good body shop where they will remove the trim then give it to a paint shop to mix the colour, there is no standard paint code for the trim parts as they are made elsewhere and depending where may be a couple of shades out which wont really matter as they are fitted as a set.

Hi nothing on the motor will cause that its just the pads moving against the cylinder and the flat mounting surface of the outer calliper this in turn squeals when it is gripped by the disc, the only place you should grease is the pad runners and the floating pins under the rubber boots.
