I used Plastic-Cote caliper paint from the auto parts store. I grinded down the casting marks and smoothed the calipers a bit. Then applied primer, paint, decals and clear. Its been a few years and they still look new. I got the decals from ebay.

Afterthoughts for the letters, Duplicolor for the paint. I used the kit, with clear over it. Looks great.

Brent Franker is the guy to go to for decals.

For paint, I used Dupli-Color high heat primer, color, and clear. I also polished the caliper face so I would have a smooth surface to start with.
