Default Brake Caliper Painting?

Hi All, I'd like to paint the brake calipers on my s-line, any suggestions on paint kits versus having it done at a shop? Will the paint kits chip or fade?<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/100111/cimg0020.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/100111/cimg0020.jpg</a</li></ul>

G2 makes some very good caliper paint. I've used it before and it's amazing stuff. You brush it on, so it's less messy and you don't have to tape everything up. It does take a little to apply, though. Even though it is brushed on, when it dries you will not see any brush marks. You can find G2 on EBAY all the time. It comes in a kit with a brake cleaner.

Thanks Man, I really appreciate the insight. I will look on ebay and most likely buy a kit there. Is there any tricky part removal involved or hard to reach places when painting?
