Dupli-color makes caliper paint in different colors.

You can also get caliper covers.

I used VHT instead of Duplicolor, recently, when doing the brakes on my car.

http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/caliperpaint/

I used the brake cleaner, and then went ahead and used the specific VHT caliper cleaner as they directed. I then shot the calipers with the VHT paint (Black semi-gloss, by the way.)

I also taped off the surfaces of the rotors and shot the hubs and edges as well.

I love it. And so far, after a month or so of use and washes, it's held up really well. I'm fairly impressed by the products, to be honest. The calipers and rotors look, to me, exactly the same as when I did them. Excepting the rust rings on the rotors, 'cause they were new, and I didn't know where the pads wouldn't touch. I'll be addressing that soonest I can on the rotors. I can't *wait* to do the fine line taping job again...

Now, in a year or so? We'll see... But then, it'll be fairly easy to touch it up/redo it, so I'm not worried.

Looks SO much better with the blacked out calipers and rotors.
