That's a great idea.  I really hope you can find some pink caliper paint!

use metal shavings for the sparkly bits!

use nail varnish. that's pretty tough. some with glitter in it will do. only one way to find out for sure. do it!

Disc brakes are always just touching very slightly, so generate heat all the time.

Yea if ya could get some aluminium filings or stainles steel filings. Thet should be O.K.

Then a clear laquer over the top.
