I have a blue Z and I painted my brake calipers red myself. I did it about 4 months ago and they still look like they were just painted, no chips/fading or anything. All I had to do was take the wheels off and take walmart plastic bags and tape them around where I did not want the paint to go, and spray away. But first, I took brake caliper cleaner and sprayed it down good and took a wire brush and scrubbed them til they were completely clean (this is very important). I bought VHT spray paint that resists high temperatures and sprayed 4 coats on each caliper. Everything together costs about 15-20 bucks total, a lot cheaper and less hassle than powdercoating. But, I'm sure powdercoating is a more professional way of doing it, but I'm completely happy with the spray paint way.
