i used dupli-color on some zr1's and it turned out pretty good. probably more durable than most other paints.

seems to be pretty hard to go wrong with duplicolor be it calipers, rotor, or wheels

I did mine with matte black Duplicolor to see if I'd like it. I was going to powder them, but sold the car before I ended up doing it.
