Looking good. Is that the regular high heat paint from Home Depot? I'm looking for some really high-heat paint since I need to paint the area on my rotors where the stock pad/caliper don't reach black:


Caliper, should I go red or black?

bobatimez, in the first pic 3rd column, what are you using to clean the caliper from the break dust? Did you, prime, paint, clear-coat?

What would be the best way to get all the break dust off the caliper... I'm going to do it in a week or 2.

I'm going to use sandpaper. BTW, bobatimez, you used spray paint right?

Looks like you masked off the rotors, but not the calipers themselves. I think it looks cleaner if the calipers only are painted, and not all their trim pieces like the metal clips, and the pads. JMHO

Exclamation My problem solved

Painted that spot and the caliper, just need to find some high-heat clear coat so the caliper can shine (if it exists) or I'll try to find glossy black paint and do another coat or 2:
