Painted my calipers and rotors
The stock calipers and rotors were starting to look pretty bad. So I rotated the tires and painted the calipers, rotor hats and rear drums. It took about 4 hours and a can of high temperature gloss black spray paint.

After
Added a stainless steel exhaust tip over the tiny stock one.

Caliper paint is on my x-mas last, and i'm pretty sure santa is bringing it.
I haven't used it yet, but from all the reviews i found, i went with the G2 kit. Lots of colors for you, a 2 part paint you mix to create an enamel. Takes 24 hours to cure. I think it's around $40 for a set. I found tons of reviews on that and the duplicolor set and the G2 won hands down.
free shipping here and a coupon code to get an extra %5 off. best deal i could find. twice as much as duplicolor, but you're paying for the quality.

Lots of people that used the duplicolor set had it cracking and flaking in a year and then re did it with the G2. Found all the info on some mustang, corvette, and lexus forums.
