And do the logo by painting the caliper first in base coat, then use an old sponge or tissue to "dab" paint onto the lettering.

Don't try to put too much on at once, or you'll get runs.

To elaborate on Alcazar's suggestion for the lettering, try a small wooden block with tissue wrapped round - the hard flat surface will contact the lettering better without touching the surrounding area.

Cheers,
