I ended up going with the POR-15 from Restomotive Laboratories. The color is Dark Blue Cadillac Engine Enamel. I've put the whole story up on my beginning Web Site. (Just started today). Sorry but the picture quality is pretty poor. Got to get a digital camera.
Mark thanks for the decals they look great! I highly recommend them for everyone!

All total about $75. I did the calipers 2 tone, gloss black and dark cadillac blue. The paint was about $45 for a pint of each. (plenty left over too.) $20 for the POR-15 black, $16 for the blue, plus shipping. Add in 4 cans of brake parts cleaner and some throw away brushes, and the decals from Mark IXZD 150.

i'mjust wondering why you did not use GM's 28 navy blue met paint?

The Cadillac Dark Blue is an engine enamel rated for 500 F. Under braking conditions the rotors get hot and it is generally accepted that heat resistant paint should be used. Most caliper paint kits use 900 F rated paints, but color choice is limited. I do not autocross or use my brakes under severe conditions. If I did, I would not do this or I would use a higher rated paint. For every day street driving, the engine enamel should (hopefully) hold up.
