There's a change of pace Taz - black with red letters! Nice.

Thanks to everyone for their opinions and experiences.

I've read your stuff and the other links.

When I get around to them I will brush paint the calipers and brackets (I'll get a nice brush). I'll remove the calipers from the rotors but not from the lines.

Painted mine on the car without taking them off. I used the two part epoxy which really dries rock hard. Mine are Black with silver brackets.

Did mine on the car but removed from the brackets, Used dupli-color and taped up brakeline fitting, used krylon high temp spray paint on brackets, took pretty much the whole day to do. I have also painted the center of the rotors with high temp black since photos were taken.

no...the trash bag and then a few more newspapers will do the trick. In my case, it was a nice calm non-windy day so it was not even a factor...otherwise we would've done it in the garage.
