Painstakingly painted by hand - by my brother (cheers Martin 
)
I've also seen it done (by Tom @ LK) using a radiator paint roller & applying very light pressure over the raised lettering

The lettering takes a bit of patience (a bit off topic)
The rocker cover was painted in a wrinkle finish red paint, which makes the lettering harder to paint, but a bit of patience and a steady had and it can come up quite well.

These are from a DBM car - honest!
original caliper
...and after a coat of hammerite gunmetal grey (didn't go as dark as expected
)
I did paint the SUBARU logo white afterwards but it looked rubbish so took it back off.

That looks really nice and most of all....different.
