This same paint is also sold by Automotion.  It is made by a German 
company called Folia Tec.  I used it with good results last year, 
giving me not-so-big-Reds, and one year later, my calipers still 
look as good as the day I painted them.

I originally considered powder coating, but to do so requires that 
you completely disassemble the calipers, due to the high temp bake.  
Therefore, you would have to replace all the piston seals.  In the 
case of my S4, that comes to over $300, in addition to the powder 
coating expense itself (probably $200+).  Doesn't seem worth it, and 
the paint work came out very nice.
