I used the G2 kit from ebay ($34.99) and painted them this afternoon. I spent about half an hour to clean the brakes extra good (thanks for the advice Randall) I used the entire can of brake cleaner. I then mixed the stuff and waited 5 minutes. I painted the heaviest on top (where people would see it) and only did about 2 thin coats on the underside. The paint was great, Ive used that duplicolor stuff, but this was 10 times better. The paint flattened into a sheet of color instead of showing brushmarks. The total project was about an hour and a half and one of the best upgrades ive done. Not a speck of brake dust dirtied my brush. I will put my wheels back on this weekend (its on 4 jack stands) and will take pics after I put on my Porsche logos from xenonmods.com. Oh ya, I took my bumperettes to get painted today with my diffusers. They were painted today and I will pic them up tomorrow. So I will start a show and tell thread with my brakes, bumperettes, and diffusers when I put them on this weekend.
Here are some pics (they are done, but still wet)
Since you painted the entire brake calipers isn't the paint around the brake bleeder nipple cap going to crack when you bleed the brakes?

Yup, but I dont care untill that day comes. And if it does crack, it will only crack where I shouldnt have painted anyway. So untill then I dont have a black eye sore on my pretty red caliper.
you should get some white brembo decals for those bad boys
