Dupli-Color Paint Kit (http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html)

This stuff is great, I've done both the notch and V6'er.

I did mine removed from the car... just have to make sure you clean them really really well, and make sure they dry really well... before any brake fuild comes in contact with them.

Chris, how many coats did you apply and how long did it take to dry? Did you use the Dupli-color paint kit? How did the red match your front anniversary calipers?

I did not use a kit, I just got a spray bottle dont remember who it was by.
That set was power coated... front and rear.
The ones I did myself are on my old car. When I took off the 01's brakes I painted them and put them on my 95. I think I gave them three light coats, with about hour between coats, then I let them dry over night.

Here's some links to some of the LL crowd and what they've done with their calipers.
