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
