I haven't seen a thread dedicated to painted OEM calipers. I'm sure a bunch of people have done some cool things. I'm looking for ideas. Anyone have some pics?

I go to the autoparts store and get caliper paint they normally only have a few colors to pick but on a black NSX like your I would do black with red NSX letters.
but then again I have 05 brakes so mine are gold color which I like
def not red on a black NSX it makes it look like a civic

I used high temp engine paint since they didn't offer the gold color in caliper paint. Holding up fine
I used G2 caliper epoxy paint, bought a silver and black kit and then mixed it going for gunmetal.

+1 on the G2 kit!!
My wheels are a little dirty in this shot but that kit is easy to apply and holds up really well!
I have red ones now, but with oversized wheels it makes the oem system look small, kinda like the black ones best, then paint NSX letters whatever color you like......

Here are big pictures of my red and black (I think flickr has changed and I cannot find the bbc code). These were done with caliper paint. It was time consuming but easy and super rewarding. It one of my more favorite mods (if you can call it a mod).

It' not a super super clean job but frankly it looks 100% once the wheels are on. I also cleaned up a few sports after.

^ nice job!
^^^ +1 What color gray is that? or is it unpainted with gold letters?
Stock bare calipers and - are you ready - metallic gold Sharpie. Its been on for over a year and no sign of fade, peel or chipping. It looks really good in person...
