Guess what I did this weekend?

Painted my brake calipers. Well it started out as that. Then I painted the struts,rsb,and trimmed the rotors and the hubs. Let me tell you this is a damn nice mod for under $20 in paint. If you have rims I would totally recommend this. Of course to do it right it will take you about a day.

how did you mask off the rotor and paint all the rusted areas? how did you mask it so round? or was it brushed on?

I bought some alluminum style tape. That is made for underneath sinks(Very movable,sticky,and strong. Then also got some trimming tape. Which is very thin. First I took my drill and a attatchment and sanded all the rusted areas. Then carefully taped it all off. Taping it off took about 10 minutes per wheel. Then once it was all taped off I painted away. Then removed the tape and put a little brake part cleaner on a rag. And wiped the rotor so no paint got to the pad.
