I did to mine then went to the dealer for the front brake fix. They didnt say anything. I used regular spray paint.

It will not void a warrenty.
Read this http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/november01/g2.shtml Regular spray paint can catch fire due to the heat. The pads generate heat as they contact the rotors and this heat is transfered directly into the caliper.

My pleasure.
G2 is very popular. I have used FoliaTec before and had okay luck with it. I suspect if I were doing it again I would try the G2 this time. The bright yellow FoliaTec turned slightly orange after several driving schools using race pads on my CRX-SiR... http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/DIY/paintingcalipers.htm

I took a rag and stuffed it around the edge of the caliper to cover the rotor. Worked just fine.

Well, this morning i went to the local pep boys and bought a can of red engine enamel and clear engine enamel, they both can stand up to 900 degree tempreture so i dont think it will catch on fire
 . I didnt really mask it well and got some on top of the rotors, what should i get it off with? Im guessing regular paint thinner would work. Anyways here some pix.

Why would I worry? I had it on all my other cars, driven well over 100,000 miles on my toyota with it. MBj that looks good.

It is not at all uncommon for a performance street pad to be in the 800 to 1,000 degree range. This kind of performance pad is very much like what is found on a truck because the brakes have to be capable of handling the towing stress. Regular spray paint is just not designed for that kind of heat. The G2 product is a real performance product and has the capability of dealing with a true track pad, and as an example my Hawk Blue pads work in the 1,200 to 1,400 degree range.
