depends on the color of your car. what color is yours?

I painted my brake caliper black and put a Lexus decal on it, and i'm loving it so far
glad I chose black instead of ricer red

Duplicolor kit from Advance (checkers? i forget), DO NOT use the brush the kit comes with go buy a real brush from a craft store, clean the brakes with brake cleaner/wire brush first.
