Duplicolor worked well for me too. I used 3 coats and smoothed the edges with a scotch brite wheel on a die grinder before I painted them. That was over a year ago and they still look great.

I think I used a combination of duplicolor caliper paint and VHT caliper paint although it could have been VHT caliper and engine enamel that I used.I didnt want to use a brush so I used the rattle cans and they turned out really well, a lot better than the previous person did where they used a brush to paint it on while still on the car.

Used dupi-color brush for fronts, took a long time, like all day....then bought a can of dupi for the rears done 30 min. painted the corvette lettering black with testers model paint
just remember to bleed brakes if you plan on taking the calipers off the car
