I used the duplicolor black caliper kit from Autozone. I liked it because of the paint brush, plus came with caliper cleaner. I then added caliper decals from GrabberPony.com and sealed everything with Duplicolor clear engine block spray. It worked like a charm and never had to remove the calipers. It did cost me more $$$ because it then made me realize I had to get zinc coated rotors.

i used duplicolor (red) 6 months ago, still looks like the day i did it. I think prepping is the key.
