I used dulicolor 1200* blue and the 500* clear. 4 coats of blue then 2 coats of clear, then the decal, then 3 more coats of clear.

Those looks good. I'll be interested to know how well these hold up over time.

Looks really good. I hear ya on the rotors. My back ones are horrible, but the fronts are nice and brand new . Can't wait to paint my rear calipers to match the fronts...rust doesnt match too well lol.

What did you do to prevent paint from getting in/on the pistons/walls? I'm putting LS1 brakes on my car, and I think I'm going to paint mine as well.
