Last set I painted was with caliper laquer from FoliaTech. They turned out very nice, I recall there was a special spray on cleaner and sealer. Thanks!!

have you used this? I plan to do red (of course) =)

yes, I hated my red Stoptechs, so I painted them black

I think the FoliaTech paint was brush on, I could be wrong

Brake calipers are under very little stress. I used Krylon engine paint from PepBoys but just as a precaution for heat buildup. I would venture to say that any spray on paint would work just fine. I painted mine on the car, one at a time by cleaning the caliper thoroughly with wheel cleaner, masking it off with foil, tape, and newspaper, then spraying it it two quick coats. Ten minutes later, I had pulled off the masking, remounted the wheel, and moved on to the next one. 6 months later and they still look great.

thank you both for the tips

M power this!

Folia tech is brush on, but no brush marks when done

that's what I thought I used on my Vette, but that was a while ago!

I used rustoleum silver 1200 degree heat resistant paint followed by a high-heat clearcoat to protect the paint I bought from Advance Auto. I found that the silver did not have much shine to it when sprayed on the calipers, but the clearcoat gave them great gloss and protection.
