Here's a fresh picture of mine and the product used. Brush painted the calipers in April 2009. Holding up pretty well, even with enduring a Canadian winter with lots of road salt and gravel.
This is 6 coats of enamel. The enamel dries in approx. 15-20 minutes, so total time to apply that much paint is under 2 hours. Only prep work was spraying the calipers with included cleaner, brush with toothbrush, and wipe dry.

Yes, I have PC'd the front calipers and rear drums. Pics obviously of the front, no pics of the gloss black rear. On the front disc I coated all that which would show a gloss black. No ill effects from the paint. I did the do-it-yourself and it lasted awhile but started to wear to quick for me. We have a local coater who works deals on occasion.

Ha, finally got around to getting this done... still sitting in the garage drying/curing. Took a little bit longer than what I thought it would but I think that it turned out pretty good. All and all, the Duplicolor kit seemed to do a good job. Now to get some more brake cleaner so I can get the back drums painted black, which should look a lot prettier than rust!
