I used MotoMaster engine paints that I found at Canadian Tire (I'm from Canada 
) ! I did a primer with an aluminium paint ( 47-7526-8 ALUMINIUM) and finished them with a chrome coat, also from MotoMaster ( 47-1031-0 UNIVERSAL CHROME ).

cool
thats awesome! 
i got a black 88 323 gtx....should i paint the calipers a dull silver or just paint them black....i say dull silver because i still have the original factory rims that come with the car, so i don't want to make the calipers stand out, and because the paint is black....or is it just better to paint them black and make them look kind of invisible....

By the way, I did my rear ones yesterday... I tried to post some pics of the whole car ! I also did the the center of the disc brake. Wasn't so hard and it looks kinda nice

Looks great!! I just finshed painting my calipers yesterday and I am very hapy how they came out. I sprayed mine and took off and masked everything. The whole job took me a couple days to do since I did not do all four at the same time. Instead I did one side of the car at a time since I figured you can really only see one side at a time. I even sprayed my rear dust shield and that sure makes it look different.
You know we really need to have a whole section on painting calipers so that we can see what everyone else has done and get ideas. Just a thought.

Man, you guys sound like you put way too much effort into painting your calipers. I just did mine when I was rotating my tires. Quick clean, couple little pieces of cardboard to catch overspray and three coats of red engine enamel.
And they look sweet.
