Brakes getting rusty. Anybody paint theirs?

My brakes are starting to get rusted and was wondering if anyone has had theirs painted. If so, is this a DIY project and what type of paint did you use?

TIA

If not the akebono's then I've used high temp spray paint that I sprayed into a container and painted on from Rustoleum. Lasted 10 years and is still on there

UNACCEPTABLE!
The calipers should not rust and I would make the argument to your dealer to have them replaced/repaired under warranty as they should be covered by the same warranty that covers rust on the exterior paint of the body panels!

Cool, but I wanted input from a G37 vert owner who had it done, not just generic painting of calipers.

I'm not a vert owner and I have the akebono brakes so I didnt chime in personally but the link I provided should have given you an idea of what kind of paint would be needed and also for a good laugh. Good luck with your project.
