Hey Mike. I used G2 caliper paint. You can get it at tirerack and some other places, just search. It's pricy but was worth it. You apply G2 with a brush (provided in the set as well as brake cleaner and some other things). It's a complete kit to paint your calipers basically. Very good stuff. If you need a hand let me know.

I think I'm just going to use metal cast on mine when I do it. It seems to hold up okay if you do it right, and they have the color that I want. (naughty)

I'm going to powdercoat mine. I just bought a nicer powdercating machine so I'm going to try to do something real nice. I'm also going to do some engraving once I get them coated.

I'd love to have mine powdercoated, but its not an option for me to send my calipers to you and live without brakes for like 2 weeks : )

I could... How much would you charge to powdercoat my brakes? I probably won't send them out (shipping costs), but it's fun to imagine.

Yellow 03 P5, what color should the calipers be painted? (leaning towards red)
