I see RED!
Hey guys, following your opinions and experiences I completed my calipers this past weekend. Taking the calipers off and properly cleaning helped my project pass my meticulous standards. I used HVC caliper paint and baked the calipers between coats. After several coats I used a razor blade to cut the paint off the "CORVETTE" and they turn out awesome. Here are some after pictures as well as a shot of my car before hand. Thanks for all your input and advice.

Those came out really nice. 
I bought the ZO6 calipers, and probably could have done better painting them myself.
Oh well, at least I was able to sell my stock ones to a CF member to help recover some of the cost...

Jerome,
Your calipers look great! I will also do this as a winter project. Did you brush or spray paint them and did you have to take the calipers off the car? One more question, what paint did you use.
thanks,
