Sorry, upside down...but you get the picture.

+1 on this. I used red since my Camaro is CRT. Put a set of ebay stickers on it (Chevrolet and Brembo) so they look exactly like stock. It's been 3 years and they're still going strong. Didn't have to worry about bleeding the brakes when I was done as they never got disconnected.

I used G2 on mine and don't have any chipping issues. G2 has a warranty for the lifetime of their paint. But I agree if you can powder coat them, do that. But I'd your painting your calipers. What helps to keep them clean is to put in carbon ceramic brake pads. I did that and I hardly need to wash my calipers.

I have about 100k miles on mine since I painted them. They aren't perfect but have held up very well.
