just in case my post came out the wrong way, i was not joking or being sarcastic. i think if you paint them red, put on the white brembo stickers, and then clear coated the whole thing, that'd look very cool. the brakes are brembo to begin with so nothing wrong doing this
when i was thinking about getting the is-f brakes for my gs, i was pretty much set to paint them different color and put on brembo stickers
definitely post pics when done!

I've never done this, but I wanted to pass along a bit of advice that the engineers at Brembo gave me. The advised me to NEVER powdercoat a Brembo caliper (they themselves don't powdercoat their calipers, they paint them). Brembo calipers are not designed to be rebuilt, and the extreme heat that the powdercoating process requires could damage the components of the caliper, negatively affecting both its functionality and durability. Just an FYI for you guys considering this...
