This literally agrees with everything I said LMAO. Also primer base and clear isn't recommended again due to heat trapping. Brembo themselves say it. I'm not going to argue with you, I've talked to the engineers and I'll stick with what they say because they ya know, designed the actual part. The company selling it from my experience usually doesn't know much about how it works or how things affect it. Most companies I run into the engineers are the only ones who actually understand the part. The other people are just a bolt it in and it does what it does. If Brembo says not to paint them then I'm not going to paint them NOR recommend people paint them, you shouldn't be recommending it either because it's a huge safety issue. But if it has to be painted then g2 is the way to go.
Not an issue with mothballed vehicles.

Just my 2 cents powder looks cool, but I've seen numerous pictures of the coating failing at the track. If you're not tracking your probably fine. I don't recall ever seeing high temp paint failing from track use, but that doesn't mean it won't.

If your not tracking and you just want looks I'd say PC from a reputable shop would be my choice, but I'd pick up an extra set of calipers to do it on to down down time.

Not sure why your getting so twisted up. Brembo themselves paints them. The link is about repainting them and addresses there process at new. A bare application. Where do you think the oem manufacturers get them from. They're supplied painted. And many can be had with color of choice now. Like Cadillac, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc. Caliper color is a question on the Gtd order as well.
Whatever engineers you're dealing with needs to get with corporate and let them know they're literally turning out thousands of sets of liabilities. If your racing your car don't paint them, on the street makes no difference.

Edit: For the record my application was from bare. I just happened to use air craft stripper to prep them.
