I have not painted the calibers or hubs on the Z yet but with my old Camry i used high heat outdoor spray paint. It turned out good, just make sure to sand down really well and use 3-4 layers of base color then spray it with a clear also. If will look good for a few months but prepared to do it again and again with spray paint.

interesting thread. I've been thinking about painting the rear drum part of the rotor, flat black, to match the floating hat on my 2-piece front rotors..

Mine RPF1s don't have cups either... I just bought a flat black heat resistant spray paint at home depot, cleaned the rust from the hubs, and put 3 coats of paint. Took about couple hours mostly waiting on coats to set. Still looks good 3 years later
