pretty expensive though for just some brush on caliper paint that doesn't look gloss at all. I spend about 5 bucks on a can of silver rustoleum last summer and brushed it on myself and its held up perfectly fine ever since and is alot more glossy, and waaaay cheaper than that

I also painted my inner exhaust tips with silver rustoleum. still look brand new

Just use the caliper paint sold at PepBoys. Like $4-5 a can. Very glossy and last forever. That's my experience.

I have used Rustoleum on 3 vehicles now (Sunrise red gloss). It holds up fine. I had first painted the Harley calipers Hugger Orange - just didn't look right so I re-painted them red. I just use some Simple Green and a bottle brush to clean them up.

i'll be repainting my calipers this spring just for a color change. they are holding up fine, but i want something different. they are silver right now, but i've got some red rustoleum and i'm gonna paint the brackets red and leave the rest silver and see how that looks. not sure if it'll stand out too much, cuz i don't want that, but its only paint. easy to redo
