Considering the weather that those calipers will take, I'd be suprised if that paint lasted through the summer. I priced getting my calipers powder coated and it would cost me about 25 bucks each. The big problem there is the calipers have to be removed from the car which means bleeding the entire brake system. However, the powder coating would last for years. That is how the colored calipers sold by brembo, ford racing, etc. are done. The paint is actually baked into the metal. The calipers look good now, but I'd be interested to know how long it lasts.
