Not to hijack your post, but I have a '99 blue coupe, and am considering painting the calipers to match - where do you get the paint that will match the car color, but will also stand up to the high heat?
again - sorry for the hijack!

From what I'm hearing, it's Rustoleum paint that works the best and the paint does not have to be any special kind of high temp stuff. Apparently the calipers don't actually get that hot.

The black actually looks pretty good. Better than I thought it would.
