Hi. Paint - Hammerite Spray around £9-£10
As for decals, I used those ones

Both, paint and decals, SPOT ON !!! No issues even after high pressure washer.

Hammerite is the best paint, I think, you can get. Not cheap, but definitely WORTH IT.

I've always brush painted, I can't be arsed with all the masking off and overspray, plus, if you aren't good at it, spray painting comes out shyte.

If it's fort SUBARU calipers, why do you need decals? just paint the tops of the letters?

Jeez, if I can HANDpaint the letters on top of my FUSEBOX, you should be alright with brake calipers.......

Forgot to say, my 4 pots have "flat" lettering (2005) that's why I've used decals. Much easier. Just stick them on and job done :-)
