Rubicon Calipers
At work right now so I'll have to post pics later but I used duplicolor brake caliper paint.
I did it around 4k miles and no problems so far at 8500 miles.
I also took off the rotors(front and rear) and painted the inner circle at the same time. Works especially well in the back. There's quite a big spacer from the rim to the actual rotor surface.

Well, a purist would say "If if doesn't improve off road performance, why do it?" but I think yellow on my wife's yellow Rubicon would look pretty good.....
PS: hope this doesn't turn out to be a double post..... I tried posting this a few minutes ago, but it didn't seem to "take."

Sorry about the poor pics, just a cellphone camera.
In the close up front pic, that's just the relection of the flash, but be careful and make sure it dries throughly or you will scratch it off with the inside of the front rim.
In the rear, I painted the caliper and the "spacer" part from the face of the rotor to the back of the rim.
It's been just about 4K miles since I painted them. No special care as far as washing. Been through the power wash a couple times though I normally handwash.
