I did a quick and dirty caliper sticker on the fronts. Was a bit lazy, just taped up a portion of the front caliper and spray the high heat barbeque black paint, put on the stickers and there you have it.

And yeah I know I should have done something about the rust...next time.

Got a lot of good info from this thread. I have an SGM IS350, and i bought and returned the blue paint and also the custom SGM paint before finally deciding on plain gloss black to match my gloss black wheels, clean and conservative like.
Piece of advice, dont use the VHT high temp clear coat labeled SATIN(it only says SATIN on the BACK of the can). This will give the caliper a dull matte finish, note on the last pic there is no gloss on the face of the caliper as that is the only part i clear coated. Later when it gets warmer i will refinish them and make sure to use gloss.
