Best paint for painting brake calipers?
Has anyone had a good experience with a particular brand/model of paint that is good for painting your calipers. Mine are rusted and I want to paint them but I dont want to paint them and have paint start peeling, cracking,etc which would look 100% ghetto!
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not paint! Spray is best. Tried both. Of course you
can use a brush, but unless your name is Monet - it will take you long and result is an uneven paint. And again - takes mad long. Spray looks smooth, fast and easy. Just use the caliper grime remover or at least wheel cleaner first. Spray 10 layers amd clearcoat. Good to go...

My results with G2. Very easy to do a nice job if you take your time

Good experience in the past with G2
Did G2 on my previous car and never had a problem.
I prefer the brush on to the spray. I was always worried about the overspray.
The G2 is catalyst based and should last longer than the spray, but the spray has the potential to look better on smooth calipers.
If you have big bucks then many people have been happy with powder coating - but you need to take them to the shop.
It just bought G2 to do my CPO S4.
