Get the G2 kit. I got mine from SWA (free shipping), and they also have them at tirerack.
Just painted mine silver last week and I love it
It isn't flashy or anything, but it looks really clean and shiney.
BTW, they say to use it within 4-6 hours or it will start to set up... Mine set up a lot quicker. I painted my fronts and then waited an hour to put the front wheels back on, but when I went to do the rears the paint was like a paste. It still looks good though. I would just suggest either completely lifting the car and doing it all at once. or just not waiting an hour to put the front wheels back on. Just be carful not to hit the calipers with your rims.

me too. just plain old high temp engine spray paint will do the trick at a quarter of the cost. can get it at any local auto parts store.

I used high-temp engine spray paint myself. Cost me about $5. Sprayed it into an empty container and dabbed it using a brush onto the caliper. It's been a year and about 15k miles. So far so good, no flaking or anything.

Just to compare/contrast: The G2 paint is ALOT thicker than spray paints, and is applied via a brush. IMO the G2 has a better luster to it than sprays do, i.e. it looks thicker, like you powdercoated the calipers.
Either will work, but the G2 is more noticeable than a spray (I have used spray on my previous car's calipers)
