I'm thinking about doing this very soon except in blue. What kind of paint did you use and what did you have to do before you painted?

P.S. It is going to look really good once you get new wheels on your car.

Duplicolor caliper paint is rated 600 degrees- thats plenty for calipers since your brake fluid will boil before then and leave you in the trees
They make a brush on type of caliper paint too, comes with tape, sandpaper, spray cleaner, and the paint and brush 10 bucks
I prefer black calipers for the fake brembo look

X2, I did the same thing, but planning to redo them but more with a gloss look.
