Best paint for calipers?
I saw caliper paint kits at Walmart the other day. Don't remember the price but they had red and yellow. I belive they were made by Duplicolor. They came with paint, cleaner, and everything you would need to do the job.
I had mine powder coated and they have a few chips out of them with only about a 1000 miles on the powder coat. I would not do that again. Just make sure they are very clean before you paint.

I painted my calipers a few months ago. I just used caliper paint at pep boys. It was like $5. I really liked how they looked just after I did them. But a little bit of the paint wore off even though they said high temp paint. Here's some old pics of the calipers, Ill let you know what kind of paint I used exactly and try to get pics of how they look now after a few months.

I used the eastwood caliper paint last week on a set of Wilwood racing calipers I installed on a harley truck. It's brush on. You get the paint, hardner a can of brake cleaner and a small brush.
I purchased a second kit to do on another customers vehicle. Very easy to use. I was happy with it. No overspray or tapping.
Once you add the hardner you have 4 hours to get the paint on calipers.

I know this thread is a bit dated, but I am looking to paint my calipers and am wondering what is the best paint to use nowadays? I saw a thread awhile back where the guy used Krylon I believe. Is that the way to go?
Just last week I installed my Rotopro slotted/dimpled rotors and PosiQuiet pads. At the same time I repainted my calipers with the Caliper Paint (brush on) kit from Pep Boys. You can use the "brush on" paint much easier without removing your calipers.
