Has anyone painted their brake calipers recently? if so which product do you reccomend? i know of two different ones. one is a two part epoxy that has a one time use and costs 50 bucks. the other is a duplicolor spray can and is able to be re-used over and over again. any suggestions?

I have tried some "low priced" paint alternatives (not all of them worked too good) and this one positively works. It is a nice gloss look with no fade, no cracking and no peeling. The heat does not hurt it either. I have tried it in a spray can and by the quart (liquid). The liquid is the easiest way to apply it by using a small brush. It is Rust-O-Leum, High Performance Protective Enamel, Oil-Based, and the color is SAFETY RED - GLOSS. Home Depot and Lowe's usually stock it for about $8 a quart. It looks good and holds up.

SpdFrk1990,
If you are asking me about the Rust-o-leum, it looks great. It is a true red color, not bright fire engine red and not a dull red. It does not fade, it stays the red color. I've got it on my 2002 SS Camaro which has a black exterior. It is a near match to the red on the SS badge on the side fender. I don't have any pictures but I guess I could get one if need be. The main reason I like this paint is that it does not fade under these harsh conditions.
