As for your questions:
I used VHT Cermaic spray paint (cast iron coat). As said before, the original brembo stamp is not a sticker. Here is the process i followed. Painting is all about prep. First, cleaned the calipers with brake cleaner, then used a brush with soapy water, until all brake dust build-up is removed. Then dried it good, then taped everything off. I did not remove the original stamp. I sprayed two coats of paint. The key to spray paint is taking your time and not getting in a rush, which causes runs. After the paint has dried for atleast 30 minutes, you can apply the decal. After decal is on, you can then start spraying a coat of VHT Ceramic Clear-Coat paint. I did 3 coats of this, 20 minutes between coats. This locks the decal in. Hope that helps.
As for the AutoX question. I could run SMF, but I am still legal for DSP. I usually run in whichever class has the most competition.
The video took a little bit of time, but I enjoy doing stuff like that.

They are on now. MadCity forgot to send them to me when he sent the wheels, but I have them on now, unfortunately when I had the first pics taken, I didn't have them yet. If you look at the autox pic, you will see them on.
@Rob - No Prob!
@FryLoch - Thanks, these cars love the twisties!
