Used the Duplicolor caliper paint kit
After getting tired of look at my dirty calipers I decided to paint them. Yes they're stock but I have the 2006 G35 front brake set up with cross drilled & slotted rotors and Hawk pads all the way around. I wanted to keep a clean look so rather than the red paint I went black. I found these vinyl Mt. Fuji Logos on Ebay so I put those on and clear coated the entire caliper. Also, when I originally painted the hats of the rotors, I didn't go as far as I should have so while the calipers dried I repainted the rotors. I wish I would have done progress pictures but I forgot lol. I think it's a nice touch and really cleans up that area, and only $30 spent.

I used this paint on some rotors on my my Mustang. Just painted them silver so they looked clean.
Participated in an autoX event and after 1 run, the paint was bubbling and peeling. It didn't hold up at all.
I have pics somewhere if really interested in seeing before and after.
However, i used the same paint on my G35 which is just daily driven and it's held up fine even with a few hard stops here and there.

Yup. Brand new rotors. Cleaned with alcohol, primed and then painted. Drove it for a while with it looking pretty good.
Trashed in 1 hard autoX session.
Looked good though
Used the same paint on my G35 rotors when i installed new ones. Held up very well for a few years until I got new rotors that had black painted hats. The need to be redone though
I'm just **** about my brakes looking clean and new.
