:stoopid: Perhaps some fake Brembo brake calliper covers might be down your alley - I vaguely remember seeing an advertisement for a company selling them that was in Fast Fours once upon a time.
Otherwise if you are serious perhaps try contacting an RPW Distributor or take a look in the Yellow Pages / Google.

as the above have said - if you just want them painted, it's one of the easiest DIY jobs eva. Hell most ppl dont even remove them to paint them - just mask up as much of the rotors, hub and wheel arch as you can and away you go.
Otherwise - check out RPW, who sell brake upgrades for magnas ranging from 2pot calipers to fit standard size rotors to upgraded (read larger) rotor and caliper setups. They will even paint them in your choice of colour before sending them out.

Sorry to revive an old thread but it's better than making a new one. What sort of paint should I use when painting my callipers? I wanna paint my callipers red but not sure on what sort of paint to buy...

go for heat proof paint that they do the engine blocks in. can get it in most colours and nearly every auto store sells it.

Actually - you might find VHT paint easier to find than VHF :bowrofl: .
Anything from VHT's range of Brake caliper, Flame proof coating, or Engine enamel range of paints will be fine for painting brake components. VHT paint is stocked by autobarn, Repco and most probably supercheap auto. I used 1 can to paint my rotors/hubs and 1 can to paint all 4 calipers.
