Buy a G2 Paint Kit... Remove wheel like your changing the tire with a spare... clean caliper. sand down the caliper with some fine sandpaper, clean again and dry, paint with G2 Kit, put wheel back on, and leave in garage to dry overnight. Simple as that. and only $50!

I have the same car. I have three colors of the G2 Paint. I have Blue, Black, & Silver.
I actually have 2 kits of silver. I'm leaning more to the blue. But not 100%. I had black on my last car, it was white. The one before it was white also & I had White calipers. But a pair to keep clean for shows.
What do you all think???

Mine, I like the black. Any other color on the stock brakes I felt would look tacky on a white car.
I used 4 coats of Krylon caliper paint (gloss black), then when dry I put on the decal. Then I used another 4 coats of high temp clearcoat over the sticker and all so the dirt wipes right back off for nice stark white lettering. I've done this on probably my last 6-7 cars and it holds up really nice.
