get the sticker on ebay, there is a thread in the "How to" section of the forum that will show you everything. Big things you need to do are:
1. Sand down the calipers
2. use some brake clean to get all the crap off of the calipers
3. spray a base coat on the calipers
4. spray another coat on them
5. apply the sticker
6. apply clear coat, however many coats you like

^ Not necessary. Saves you the hassle of having to bleed your brakes.

I sand it with 600 and 1000.sand it as much as you can reach.this way you dont have to remove calipers.I dont prime it.4 coats of paint from AutoZone,decals and 4 coats of clear also from AutoZone.1 can of each is enough.first time it took me like 6 hours total.don't have to sand to bare metal.just to get rid of fading clear coat.sanding paper you can get from home depot,AutoZone etc.i washed surface with acetone.after two freakin Chicago Winters still looking good.
