Caliper paint and decals

Hey guys, sorry the search functions not working for me, and im sure this has been asked before. What paint would yall recommend I use to paint my calipers? I was looking at these two, but as always, I would like some opinions.

Also, does anyone know where I can purchase the "camaro ss" decals that go on the caliper? Thanks in advance

I just went to autozone and bought red and black and clear engine block paint. Block paint is a little of an over kill but it wasn't that expensive. I just taped everything off shook the rattle can and painted away. I think it looks alright.

Im actually doing mine right now waiting on them to dry to paint them. I took off the caliper and clean the crap out of them then sprayed them with about 4 to 5 coats of silver then 2 coats of clear then cleaned the bracket and rotor off really good and used the kit in the second link to paint the bracket and rotor. Pretty happy with the results and I think its safer to take them off if you are going to spray them just less to worry about and you just have to bleed the brakes and your good too go. But heres some pics of the one 1 have finished
