I bought the G2 Duplicolor paint kit. The brush is crap, but the paint was awesome and easy to use. The directions tell you what to paint/not paint. I used pics on here to see how much area to cover, which was pretty much the entire caliper to include that little cross brace thing that runs along side the caliper in front. You can't miss it when you look at it. Other than that, take your time and it will turn out awesome!

Keep it off the rotor, pads, and moving/sliding parts such as the pins.
I personally think the spray paint looks the best and is fairly easy and quick. I've done two cars this way while I had the cars up doing oil changes.

*Clean caliper thoroughly with caliper cleaner (from autozone, o'reilly, etc) and a few paper towels. *Spend about 15 mins doing some careful masking and tape work per wheel (no need to remove the caliper). *Spray a few coats with hi-temp engine paint in the color of your choice (from any auto parts store) Cost: about $6 for the can of caliper cleaner and $6 for the can of hi-temp engine enamel. In the past I've used the brush-on caliper paint and it worked OK and lasted a long time, but I like the hi-temp engine enamel, as it gives a smoother finish that looks more factory.
