Go to a body shop or a body shop supplier try ppg's website. If you can take the calipers off the body shop can just paint them for you.

make sure you use heat resistant paint. The brakes get pretty hot and normal paint will burn off.

Well, I had been wondering about this. I just painted mine yellow. I realized that mixing of colors would be cool. You could buy the yellow and the red for $38 each, and mix them. All you would have to do would be to mix the paint and the reactor (stuff you have to mix with it before you can paint). Just mix each set with it's own reactor, then let them sit a few minutes and stir some more, then start adding little bits of red until you get the orange you want. It seems to dry almost exactly like the color of the paint as you apply it, perhaps a tiny bit lighter.

Go to the brakes section, and there will be a link on the brake upgrades page to caliper paint.
