i polished the brackets along with my calipers and they held up fine with just clear coat and as soon as I zoop sealed them they rusted. My other question is would i have to sand them down really good to have the primer and paint stick?

I would paint the caliper brackets a glossy black and the calipers SOM.
I painted my caliper brackets SOM and the calipers are power coated red. Makes the caliper stand out more.

SOM the brackets, then do the calipers a gloss black w/ SOM "Trans Am" or "WS6" on 'em. That way it doesnt seem like its too much SOM, its a subtle change that can still catch your eye.
