You can buy the FoliaTec or G2 Caliper Paint System (I think they are the same thing) on Ebay for around $30...
I've had good luck with both. I did NOT have good luck with Hi-Temp red engine paint. I thought it would work better at higher temps, but it flaked off way too easily...

I tried it on my vette & did not like it. Painting all 4 before the 2 part crap dries or thickens up is not easy. If you drip or get it on anything else forget about getting it off after it dries. Powdercoating I think would look much better IMHO.

Jeff,
I painted the calipers and rotor hats on my Z (daily driver) w/ caliper paint that I bought at an auto parts store, and it has held up very well for over a year.
If you're interested, I'll get the info for you.
If this is for your rear calipers (I assume it is), Zero Altitude Flight (ZAF) offers a caliper cover that is a lot nicer looking than the stock caliper.

I painted mine red using some VHT brand high temp caliper paint made specifically for calipers. They look very good and have held up for 2 years plus look as fresh as the day they were painted. I think the key is in the prep work. Lucky for me I was installing 4 new calipers and didn't have to worry about cleaning off grease, brake fluid, etc, etc. before I painted them. I used about 4 coats and then put some vinyl Viper emblems on the fronts. Looks gorgeous.
