Looks real good. That's one of those dirt cheap mods than can drastically improve the appearance of your car. Cost me like $4 for the Duplicolor Silver Caliper Paint Kit on clearence at the local auto store when I did mine. Nice job on yours!

How often does it need touch-up?
Do the spray chrome wheel cleaners mess it up?
I just did them with the G2 kit. They had gloss black. Comes with brake cleaner, small paint brush, and a two part paint that you mix like an epoxy. They recommend a narrow temp range for application (54* - 70*) so that is a bit of a drawback for summer work.
I took a wire wheel to mine before using the brake cleaner to finish. I also used the blue painters tape to ensure I didn't get any on the rotors.
Overall a pretty easy project.

Looks great.
I think I'm the only one with blue (on silver or anything? lol). I feel dirty. I don't know if it would look good on another color, but it's all personal preference. I'm sure some wouldn't like the blue caliper/decal/ports at all.
I like the idea of painting the brackets. Gonna do that.
