I just used high temp engine paint, have done it in the past. On my last car they looked great for three years, until I totaled the car. I just did mine last summer with the same paint, its not hard to do!! The only thing I did not use was the clear coat, got too lazy oh well. Make sure it is HIGH TEMP!!

This was before the touch up, I forgot to take the 'after' but as you can see, this is after 2 years of painting and the sticker is still clean. Just tape everything off and take your time. I can usually do mine in about an hour now in terms of touching it up. I do it once a year probably.
They look real good. I wonder why lexus never put the supra calipers on the GS with the Lexus logo.
