High Temp. WDP Paint?

I may be dreaming, and I know it wouldnt come out with the same finish as the body of the car.... but is it at all possible to get WDP paint as a high temp paint for the calipers? I was looking at my car with the black rims and thought it would look good if the calipers behind them were the same color as the car. And I know it would attract dirty like a MO FO, but does anyone have any ideas for me? Just throwin it out there.

I was looking at high temp paints a while back---it seems they have a bunch of colors, but no white. You could go with silver, which is what white calipers would wind looking like after a mile or so anyway.
G2 will do a color match for you, if you really have to have white.

I'm sure they don't offer it due to the reasons others have said. You'd be cleaning them everyday.

Idk about them getting THAT dirty.. my calipers are paintd blue and they really don't get that dirty.. but I do clean them everytime I wash my car. Guess that would be harder with the stock rims. I say do it crestwood!

Do it! If they end up getting too dirty you can always paint them a different color.

for me if i painted my calipers on a type S with stock brembos and pads, it would end up looking the same color it did before i painted it. maybe you can get some pads that create less dust then youll probably be ok . just spray the calipers down every now and then
