I used Dupli Color brand caliper paint kit, you can find at Auto-Zone or any of your local automotive stores.

Watchout with the duplicolor - it might start to flake in a few months...it's been happening to my calipers - and I'd already painted them twice (3 coats each time).

The best paint to use would be the G2 kit - little more expensive, but it's an epoxy based paint, and this stuff holds forever.
