They Have Caliper Paint Kits At Schucks. Thats What I Used.. It Comes With Everything Caliper Cleaner.. A Paint Brush.. The Paint. If You Do Everything And Have A Steady Hand You Can Do A Pretty Good Job Painting It On Your Own.. The Plus Thing Is It Dries In A Couple Of Minutes So Your Car Doesnt Have To Sit For A Long Time. Im Throwing Another Coat On My Calipers Tonite Before I Head Up To Canada For Dtp.. Its All About The Diy Man.. Simple Stuff
ill be picking up one of these kits

Hmmn yeah designer I may be but steady hand with paint is another thing. I might have to get someones expertise is doing this one. I have always sucked at painting anything but a house you don't have to have a steady hand.

Don't mean to jack your northwest thread but...............
In regards to the calipers. Regardless of one's painting / artistic skill level you have to remember that you are painting a part that is never seen in it's entirety (unless you run 3 spoke wheels). It should be painted to either contrast or compliment the wheels which should be the highlight of the car. I've never stared at a set of calipers and wondered if there were any imperfections. Just food for thought.

I believe the paint is brushed on vs. sprayed on so it's definitely easier. Tire Rack has them for $38. See below:
