Default Brake caliper paint suggestions

Recently I took off my wheels and noticed my calipers paint flaking off. I have nice wheels so I decided to paint the calipers for my next project. Has any one painted their calipers? Using what kind of paint and color? I found a painting kit called G2 for $40. They claim it’s easy and no disassembly required. Or should I just use regular engine paint? Pic's and suggestions welcomed!

There are lots of threads on this on the 944 and 993 boards. You'll see lots of opinions and some pictures. It does look like the caliper painting kits satisfy most of the folks who have used them.

There is also a way to stencil paint the Porsche name back on - seeRobin Sun's excellent www.p-car.com site under DIY and caliper painting

Robin's site details a more expensive powdercoating process - which I can recommend as that is what I've just had done on some new calipers.
