You could write a shell function that takes a string as an argument and inserts the appropriate color codes based on string substitution, and then just pass the results of __git_ps1 to that function.

Something like the following might work:

function __my_git_colorize_ps1 () {
    echo "$1" | while read -N 1 char; do
        case "$char" in
            \*) echo -n $'\e[34m*\e[m';;
            +) echo -n $'\e[31m+\e[m';;
            $) echo -n $'\e[32m$\e[m';;
            %) echo -n $'\e[1;34m%\e[m';;
            \<|\>) echo -n $'\e[31m'"$char"$'\e[m';;
            *) echo -n "$char";;
        esac
    done
}
