Yep.. there is a jack in our car. From what i hear.. you can use a primer.. and high heat engine paint.. and then spray clear coat.
Or you can buy a kit that you brush on.

Both can be bought at a local auto parts store.. or search google to buy online.

For the stickers...

After the paint is dry.. you apply the stickers.. let them set.. and they spray clear coat over the caliper+sticker.

I'm going to clean the hell out of them using my gun cleaner and a wire brush. Use the brush on kit to paint them. Apply the stickers.. then put a nice coat of clear on them.. should last that way.

I will most definitely be painting mine on the next tire rotation. What color should I do them for my silver Mustang? I was thinking white. How should I first clean my calipers? Is the paint hard to keep clean?
