I used it and thought it worked great. Also bought some hi-temp clear and camaro decals from afterthoughtsauto.com Here's how they turned out:

if i did this would i have to get the clear or can i just buy the duplicolor, spray it and be done? once my wheels get here im going to powdercoat them black, and while theyre off i wanna do the red caliper paint

With the duplicolor kit you brush on the paint, not spray it. The clear you buy seperately, and spray on after the paint has dried.

brush it on? that seems like a pain in the a$$

It was extremely easy. I did it so I wouldn't have to take the caliper completely off, or have to deal with taping everything off due to overspray.

I highly recommend using a brushed on paint when doing the brake calipers. Think about all the stuff you would have to tape up to protect it from overspray if you used spray paint.

I used a brush on system (got mine from ecklers.com) and was totally pleased with it. It wasn't a pain at all. I think taping everything up for spray paint would be a bigger pain.

the brush system works well. taping everything off doesnt take too long though. some huge pieces of newspaper take care of the wheel well, and it does take a lot of masking tape, but its not too bad.
