Painting Calipers
#6
Unless you are road racing, you don't need to worry about hi-temps. They only get up to about 120F under normal use.
You need to worry about rust and chemicals. A good job of prep will do wonders, and don't spill brake fluid.

I used a small wire brush and brake cleaner to prep my calipers. For color I used Rustoleum Industrial spray paint that I picked up from Home Depot. Covers really well. Large can (larger than reg. Rustoleum cans) was about $6. Only been a couple of weeks but I see no problems as of yet.

I used Eastwoods' Ceramic engine paint.. Brush it on & it levels itself out like spray paint.
But looks like Glass & Good to 650* for just in case,... 1 Quart is enough to paint maybe 5 or 6 rides.. & needs no mix in catylist, so lasts on the shelf also..
