Question What paint did you use to for the pads?

I have non-brembos, and have noticed that a lot of people have painted their pads. What kind/brand of paint did you use? I have a DB Base and considering a red or the similiar blue paint for the pads. Please list what kind you used and where you got it from. Leave some pics if you have some. Thanks!!

I used the G-2 system. I got it from the Tire Rack for about $40.

red G2, for my wifes G35c, off of ebay, a couple bucks less than tire rack. I also painted the backs of the pads red with hi-temp engine paint from the autoparts store, because greenstuff green pads wouldn't look right with red calipers.

Also, did you guys paint the calipers while still on the car, or did you take the assembly apart, remove the pads, and paint the pieces?

Same here, i used the g2 red. Removed all four wheels, and painted 3 layers every 35-45 minutes. I let it sit all night to be sure and drove it the next day.
