I used dupli-color engine enamel clear. Painted the calipers red, several coats, applied the decals, then sprayed the clear over the entire caliper (as much as I could without removing it). It came out great, and has withstood several DE's and normal driving for about 9 months. The only problem has been with changing the pads. Removing the pin has chipped the paint around the pin hole a bit, but its not enough to worry about and, unless you're bending over looking at it you can't see it.
