Yup, believe it was duplicolor gun metallic.
I didn't clear coat, just masked the rest of the cover off and painting two light coats and let dry a good day or more before re-installing.
For the red I used a small paint brush, like the craft store type, and carefully applied the paint to the top of the lettering. It will build up to give a nice thick coat if you keep adding more to the brush and do a little at a time. Have to be careful as if you go to far it will spill over the top of the letter and you have to wipe it off and start over. I dried the parts in the sun for a day as the caliper paint can take a long time to dry if put on thick.
If you want to see what the paint looks like now check here when I painted my post MAF tubes a couple months ago.
VHT Wrinkle Paint
It's a little dusty in the engine bay, but you can see the paint is still excellent.
