Do yourself a favor and clean the inside of the wheels really good and apply a few coats of wax while waiting for the paint to dry. This keeps the brake dust off the weels and makes them easier to clean. I do this at least once a year when I rotate the tires.

RE: caliper color?
I still would like to see Amber for the fronts, like the front turn signal. And maybe red like the rear turn signal in the back. Of course getting an exact match will be a pain, so if you want to go with one color, I'd say black.
Lots of great tips on the posts, all!
Here's an edit of the front ones:

RE: caliper color?
I used some caliper paint fron Wal-mart, but after maybe 500 miles you can start to see it discolor.

RE: caliper color?
I decided to use the G2 system in silver. I also ordered the caliper decals in blue to match the body of my car. The kit is in the mail and I will post pics after I paint them this weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions!!
