I've used the duplicolor kit in black and mine still look awesome after nearly 5 years. I like the idea though of using a brush because it was really easy and kept the area nice and clear of any overspray. I don't know how much powder coating would cost though but I wouldn't want to have to remove all the calipers and send them out to get done.

Lots of down time with powder coating so I went with a quality high temp brake paint kit.
