Painting brake pads..

How difficult is this to do, i've painted plenty of things before from houses to computers what kind of paint do you recommend and any tips? I was thinking of using a dark goldish color for my 2001 white SE.

You can take leave the calipers on etc... Are you using regular spray paint or a Paint Caliper Paint System like G2 etc...??

That's kind of a dumb painting the rotors and the pads, what good is that gonna do. The calipers would make a lot of sense. But pads? that would be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
