Advanced Auto Parts sells a high temp "Brake Rotor" paint, I got black for my rotor hubs, and bought the red corvette covers for my calipers. Found those on e-bay, much cheaper to paint them but the covers will be much easier to clean.

Really, I didn't see the caliper covers they have. Got mine on line, found them on e-bay. Red with silver "Corvette" lettering on them. You need to post up some pics of the finished product.
