Heat resistant metal filler (for calipers)

I have the WRX PRO calipers and I want to fill in and smooth the embossed 'WRX PRO' part so that I can apply 'SUBARU' decals. Then my front brakes will match my rear two pots.

Any recommendations for a metal filler?

Thanks

Nick

Chemical Metal should do the job just fine!

Why not sand off the embossed areas rather than fill and sand?

The problem with filling will be the differential expansion rates of the caliper and filler when they heat up.
It will inevitably cause the filler to fall off.
