Anyone use the brush on Duplicolor caliper paint?

I just bought a Duplicolor Caliper Paint Kit from autozone, but am thinking about taking it back. I've read around and it seems like the paint does not hold up well very long and flakes off b/c of brake dust and salt during winters.

Just wondering what you're experiences have been with the brush on paint(not spray!). I'm considering buying the G2 Caliper Paint kit, but it's around $40 and you can easiley run out painting all four calipers b/c it hardens.

High temp engine enamel spray paint holds up VERY well. A few coats will last for at least a year. I'm going to respray mine soon. Been painted for over 1.5 years.

I just finished the write up on mine using the same kit. Go to the hobby store and get a different brush. The one in the kit sheds bristles. I have enough paint left over to do my brakes again 2 or 3 times. If they start to flake I'll just redo them. It's a very easy process.

i did mine three months ago and they look fine no flaking or anything. but like he said get a different brush i had to use tweezers to get the bristles off. also make sure you do light coats to make it come out smooth.
