Painted Calipers

Has anyone painted their stock calipers? I looked at mine yesterday and noticed that there is an M embossed (or relieved) on the edge. I was thinking of painting the calipers red and the M in white. I'm wondering if there is a DIY thread on this and whether you sprayed or brushed as well as prep work and heat resistant paint.

TIA,

Joel

I used G2 epoxy paint to do mine. Definitely the way to go. It's a brush on, much easier than spray paint, and much more durable. I didn't worry too much about getting paint on the rotor or pads because I had new rotors and pads on the way.
