painted my calipers to match the electric blue. i used the G2 brake caliper painting kit. it is a brush on application, the paint lays down very smooth and is easily washable. i used the brush on kit, because there is significantly less masking off that needs to be done with the brush on style instead of the aerosol kits. the brush on kit consists of an aerosol cleaner to remove brake dust and gunk, paint, catalyst and a small application brush. the job is very easy and can easily be done in 1 evening. the biggest part of the job is to get all four wheels up at the same time. time is valuable in that the catalyst will turn the paint into a brick overnight. you have at least 4 hours to work with it. there is enough paint to do approx 3 coats and have enough left over to paint what ever else you want. do it all at the same time, 'cause once that catalyst is cookin' the clock is runnin' the G2 kits are available via ebay and retail outlets
sorry pics not available yet & good luck. a color other than factory coating on the calipers looks terrific.

This is what I used (G2). It is a 2 part catalyzed paint that hardens very thick, smooth and hard. I highly recommend it.

Does anyone have any pics of the calipers painted, any color?
And what about the rear drums, anyone painted those?

Did you get that locally or off the web?

I used high temp engine paint over a year ago and it continues to worked great. I painted mine purple since the theme of my PT is black, purplr and gray.
