Kit is called Duplicolor which is about 15 bucks a Autozone. Just take off all four wheels, remove brake pads and paint. I left calipers on car and masked around rotors. Kit comes with a cleaner to prep calipers before paint.

I've used the Dupli Color kit also. Holds up really well and pretty easy to do. Just make sure you tape everything off.
