Another option besides G2 is Folia-tec. I used Folia-tec. Comes as a package with brake cleaner (organic solvent), paint + lacquer. You need to buy (separately) -- wire brush, small paint brush, masking tape + newspaper (that's if you decide to paint the calipers while they're still on the car... take them off and you don't need tape or newspaper).

The Duplicolor stuff isn't nearly as nice as the G2 stuff. I did mine with the G2 and it turned out great. Tried the Duplicolor on the wife's car and it wasn't near as nice.
