Here's my how-to on painting the calipers with Testors model paint -

I've done this on MANY cars over the years, and it holds up GREAT. Best part is if it gets dull and tired looking or scuffed up, another 99 cent bottle and you can freshen it up super easy.
Took me like an hour, tops, to paint all 4 of my calipers.

If you want black lettering, a permanent marker with heavy ink works well and is easy to control. Mine has been "marked" for close to a year and no wer yet. Best of all if it does wear off, I can re-do it in 5 minutes.

Like Dale said, the paint holds up very well as its acrylic. Its super easy to do and once I get some new wheels it will make the car look a whole lot better. To answer puggs question, I painted the entire caliper black, and painted the MAZDA silver.
