I got the paint from pep boys called VHT burnt copper. The decals are the heat resistance ones off ebay.

Here's how they look before. As you can see half of the stock clear was coming off already. I'm glad I did this because I never notice how bad the stock paint was holding up.

Did you scuff up the caliper and sand off the old paint where it was flaking or anything? did you use spray paint or brush it on?

Yeah we sanded down the old paint and cleaned it all up. The paint was a spray bottle.

Did you take them off or mask off everything and paint the calipers while they were still on?

I masked everything and painted it. I think if next time when I get my rotors or pad change then I'll take off everything and repaint the whole caliper.
