Leave the spray painting to civics. Not hating, i just know the paint job won't last.

I, like you, prefer my rice as a side dish not on my car. This looks excellent, I've had only positive comments and questions about my "upgraded" brakes.

Powder coating is great but costs $$$$$$$$.

600 degree caliper paint has proven to be very durable in street use.
