RE: calipers
Buy the proper caliper paint if you can. High temp engine paint will work too though.
VHT makes the one I used.
I have a black GT and was going to go red but I changed my mind and went black instead.
Word of caution...prep the calipers really well or the paint won't stick.
Spray on lots of brake cleaner and scrub with a toothbrush.
Let it dry then spray first coat. You will see it kind of bubble up in any areas that aren't cleaned well. I had a few spots like this and I scrubbed and scrubbed but the paint wouldn't take so I ended up blasting those spots with a blow torch and burning off whatever was on them.
The paint stuck excellent them.
It is a good idea to bake the paint on with a heat gun (a very hot hair dryer will do too) to ensure the paint is cured well.
