Brake Caliper paint job?

I have seen some one that the color was white and "brembo" was in red, so it was reversed. I was wondering if anyone has painted their's a different color and how hard would it be to do so? I accidentally scratched one when I was putting my rims back on and it looks like crap. Anyone have and pictures?

I actually like the sti's gold colored ones, and with some bronze rims I think it would look nice.
