You can buy a kit that comes with the paint and brush.. You mix the paint and hardner and paint the calipers.. I think i got it at Tirerack.com or something..

important thing is cleaning. make sure you strip all the old paint and degrease the whole thing good. that's fundamental. afterwards put on the coats and you will be fine

i have had mine for 5 years, still like day 1
