Brembo or stoptech.

But I took the poor man's route and sanded and painted mine for sixteen bucks

get duplicolor caliper paint...cant go wrong for the price...It is a whole little kit that will probably paint 20 calipers.

Now and then I get a small chip or 2, and all i have to do is dab a tad of paint on it, and it dries in like ten minutes haha

Any local auto place has the duplicolor brush on kit. I picked it up in black from PepBoys. Advance Auto and Napa both had the red but not black paint on kit.

Pick up a cheapo paintbrush though, the one in the kit is REALLY bad.

Yes, the AmericanMuscle cit is the Duplicolor kit. And even though it says it paints four calipers there is enough in the kit to paint who knows how many. And as mentioned before, if a chip occurs you can just dab some more on and it looks like it never happened. All in all though it seems to do a quality job.

Can you give me quick idea how hard of a job it is to do this? Thanks.

It's not hard at all. One of the great aspects of a brush on system is you don't have to worry about overspray, so the paint can be applied without removing the brake calipers!

There is a great step by step guide at the G2 website here:
