Painted brake calipers yesterday (pictures)
Figured I'd give it a try before braking down and paying for the powder coating. Total cost, $3.99 + Tax for a can of 900 degree high-heat paint. 4hrs of hard labor The only problem is with the brakes on the car, you can't properly cure the paint (650 degrees for 1 hr). I did drive and do some heavy braking for an hour... We'll see how durable it is, but it was worth a shot. Thanks to KeithD for the idea. I knew there was a good reason for inviting him to Jupiter.

I used 900 degree paint a little over a month ago and they still look new. I was afraid of getting overspray all over, so I sprayed the paint into another can and hand-painted a few coats onto the calipers.
Maybe someday I'll poweder coat, but this works for now.
