Yup. Stock 2006 Brakes.
Brake cleaner, and wire brush and an afternoon of time. Took the rotors off, masked the swept area with electrical tape and gave it several coats.
I took the pads out of the caliper, painted the support bracket separate and hung the caliper and painted that after cleaning the hell out of it.
Basically I just took my time, cleaned them up well and painted. Only had to touch it up a few times since.

Brembos are gold and say Brembo. If you painted them red, no one would ever ask you if they are Brembos.Originally Posted by jd100

Who cares what others think. Do what you want.
I painted my red and no one ever once asked me if they are Brembo
