repainting the OEM Brembo calipers?

they most likely aren't painted, but powdercoated.

High temperature paint of course, calipers can get pretty hot. Anyone ever try FoliaTec caliper lacquer set? They seem to have a similar color on their web site to the brembo's color, I'm curious on their durabilty and quality.

I have used that before on a different car and it looks great, and holds up very well. Easy to use as well.

take them to a legit paint shop and have them paint 'em. i really don't even think it is necessary to use high temp paint

i researched on this topic awhile ago.. before i got a BBK

injected performance was offering a service of painting they had some nice pics
brembo will most likely not do it for you or will charge you your pen*s for it
theres G2 paint which is ghetto as hell
theres also a guy named "mike" who powdercoats brakes

here are my questions.. are u doing it for fun or are your caliper's paint messed up?
and can you afford the downtime of not having brakes?

i say man it up and get a BBK you woman!
