found this online, looks like an interesting and cheap kit to get for painting break calipers...

CALIPER PAINTING KIT-POR-15 Inc.

whats odd is you use a paint brush vs spray can, wondering if this looks legit or not.

Looks similar to the G2 kit which also uses a brush. I've used G2 on my prior cars and once dried, the brush strokes are gone. I've had good results, and durability.

Kit is great! Used it to paint the brakes on my dad's car. Yeah, no paint brush marks once dry and the brake cleaner works great!

We have the G2 kit and it works great. Have used it on multiple cars with really nice results. The paint goes a long way also. Let me know if interested!

I don't have any close ups, but the handful of cars I've done turned out really nice. Had a good gloss finish that lasted a long time. Trick is doing it in the right ambient/outside temp.

I used the G2 paint on my G35.
Applied easily and never chipped.

I used some of the cheap duplicolor once and will never agian.
G2 is worth the money

What colors do you have...I didnt like the choices in the link for the POR 15 kit...I need more variety. And does it come with a clear coat so that you can put a decal back on after painting and seal it??

The G2 kit doesn't offer many color choices either. The basic black, red, yellow, blue...also there is no clear coat. That's something that you'll have to apply after it cures.
