Picked up my 2013 V8 before Christmas and have been doing a few things since.
Both rear calipers were not pretty and both needed repainting, looked at options and bought a pack from Foliatec.

Car colour is salsa red, caliper paint colour is rosso red, car had red calipers from the factory.
Easy to do, not quite finished as might wetndry the surface a little to make it a little smoother .... picture below alongside a refurbished alloy. The picture doesn't do it justice and seems to have highlighted non smooth paint yet with the eye looks reasonably smooth.

Next step is to do the same with the fronts, paint not flaking but faded to a light red/pink!

Looks great, love the attention to detail.

I did the same on my first F-Type in Salsa red and just painted my newer car with Firenze paint as the bright red really clashed.
