Here's another idea - check out your local art supplies store. They will probably have a silkscreening kit that comes with a screen about the right size. Should cost $20-$30.
What you do is print the "PORSCHE" logo out on a clear transparency sheet (Kinkos can do this if you have the artwork). The better quality the printout, the better the results.
Then you spread some photoreactive goop on the silkscreen and let it dry in a darkroom. Lay the clear transparency on top of the screen and expose under bright light for 15 minutes or so. Wash out with water.
End result, a perfect (and reusable) stencil. Hold the screen firmly (and without moving it) onto the caliper, goop some paint inside the screen, and swipe with a squeegee. Repeat x 4.
It takes some practice to get good clean results, holding it steady and lifting without smearing takes a few tries. The only other caveat is the surface of the caliper must be very smooth to get good results.
