What caliper paint have you used?
I've been looking at the following:
VHT Paint http://www.vhtpaint.com/caliperpaint.html G2 Caliper Paint http://www.corvettegarage.com/product/g2-caliper-paint-kit.html Dupli Color http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html I want to get this $h!7 done to my car ASAP (like before July) so when I get my wheels/tires (early July) I only have to pay for a tire balance once.

I went to AutoZone and picked up their brush on caliper paint. I also had their spray caliper, but decided to just use their cleaner stuff and their little brush and the brush on and do it that way. Just popped the tires off and jacked the car up high enough to get on the back side. I did put a clear over it also. The brackets on mine I painted silver with just model paint. It's been 2 years and no flaking or chipping. The hawk just got back from Naggs head 2 weeks ago so no problems on a long haul.

Dupli-color works great. I had previously done the high heat engine paint and clear coat but after 4 years and a lot of hard miles it started to fade and crack. We'll see how this dupli-color stuff works. Just put it on 7 months ago and haven't driven the car more than 2 miles.

I used the dupli color bruch on. If I had to to do again, which I do I'll go with the spray and actually take the calipar off to paint it.
It held up pretty well until I tried some new wheels cleaner. Ate the pain off the caliper. lol

That's why I didn't do it that way the first time, but gotta learn evetually. lol
When I did it I was putting new rotors and pads on at the same time, so I already had the brackets off and I painted those black.
