Who painted their REAR calipers?
I painted my front calipers a few weeks ago with Dupli-color caliper paint(red) and they came out great. I'm planning to do the rears this weekend. I'm curious if others that did the rears included the mounting bracket as well? The main caliper body looks very simple to do but, the caliper bracket looks like it would be a pain to do but, it is as visible as the caliper itself. Those that painted the rear caliper and/or bracket, I'd love to see some pictures.

Depending on the type of caliper paint you are using (spray vs. brush-on), you can't avoid painting the bracket as well. It will be easier to paint the bracket if you use a brush-on type such as the G2 system. If you go the route of a spray-on liike VHT, you'll have to use newspaper/plastic to ensure you don't get paint on the rotors or other components.
These are the only close up shots of the rear I have:

@Todd Edge Looks good - any plans to put the "F-Sport" or "Lexus" decal stickers on the calipers?

Got mine off eBay. Quite a few sellers on eBay with vinyl/high temp stickers for the calipers:
