Painting the calipers

Decided to improve the rusted look of my calipers and will use the G2 kit from Tirerack I purchased.

They had a bunch of colors to choose from but I'm going with red, it's the classic caliper color in my mind.

After removing the wheels, cleaning the calipers I'll be ready to either take the calipers off or just tape off the areas not to be painted. The kit comes with paint, hardener, cleaner, brush and instructions. Should be a very easy upgrade.

Plus, I'll get to use my new air compressor and will clean the inside of the wheels when they are off as well.

I'll post before and after pictures when I'm done.

I'm also considering replacing the stock rotors with cross drilled ones when they need to be replaced. Does anyone have recommendations on high quality (at least to OEM levels) cross drilled rotors for the 4.8is? Thanks in advance.
