What product did you use for painting the calipers?
Follow the link from my post #7. I followed his instructions almost to the letter. Got the paint description from The Tire Rack, but I ended up buying it on eBay and saved a couple dollars. I think it was called G2. You can also go with a spray, but I didn't want to deal with any black over-spray in the wheel well. So I went with the brush-on. Be sure to get the decal (also on ebay-search lexus caliper decal). I did use a clearcoat engine spray (advance auto) which helps to seal everything in.

Here's a closeup of the calipers. Forgot to take a pic with the wheel off.
