Jeez, splitting the caliper body is pretty hard core- did you need to hone the piston bores or were you just that bored?
@micaheli...my calipers (purchased from the classifieds) are that color, even down to the black highlighted "Mazda"- and look pretty sweet with my Blaze Red paint.
Not that you can really tell what with the Hawks trying to make everything "Brake Dust Black".

that is very nice, looks like time went in to painting the mazda black, i have painted mine red with white lettering. i also believe in our brakes considering they are 4 piston, so there is no need to get different calipers. thats why i've saved mine as well, haha grimy ....sounds only half as bad as mine were. grimy is to nice of a word, mine were just plain naasty from the last owner.
