Just wondering what brand and type of paint you guys use for painting your calipers? Also is it ok to put a layer of clearcoat over the paint to prtect it and make it shinny? If so what type of clear is best?
Thanks guys

any generic high heat paint will work. I think that mine was rated for 500*

I've used the Duplicolor caliper paint set, it brushes on. It's very easy to apply and looks great. The just sparyed it w/ Duplicolor clear spray paint.

The brush on kit is like $14 at Kragen or the likes.

yeah clear it, pick your high temp paint and then there is some high temp engine enamel that is a clear, spray that on after you have let the caliper paint cure for a while, usually a day or so.

brake cleaner and a hard brush, then use soap/water to wash it off, if you use a spray can you shouldnt have to primer it, i never did with mine.

Agree on the brake cleaner and brush. Also you might want to sand it down with a dremel or by hand with 120
