I have done a set of Calipers for my AU (they are BA ones). I took them apart, just took the outriggers off, and then painted them Blue like the High Series ones on the BA/BF. I bought the paint from Supercheap and it cost me $17.50.

Make sure you prep the surface properly!!
Metho, wax and grease remover etc. Very important.

F you use the anodized paint make sure you use the base coat though or it'll look like utter s**t
have painted my rocker cover with it came up pretty good the anodized part is very thin though |

or you could do it this way
all you need is: Masking Tape Plastic Bags Wax and grease remover Preferred Caliper paint colour Couple of rags some sand paper Take your wheel off , wash the caliper and then use to wax and grease remover to get rid of any left overs, give it a light sand and use the wax and grease remover again, wipe it dry, use the masking tape and plastic bags to cover your brake disc and any other parts you do not wish to get sprayed. Make sure its dry and all wax and grease is off then spray away with your paint, leaving about 10minutes in between coats, give it about 3 - 4 coats, let it dry, then move on the next caliper Quite easy man |

Get them HPC Coated, cooler brakes and it will look pimp as !
polishing them should attract to much heat ! but still would like nice !
