Hey, I want to paint my calipers red.  My friend used a red heat resistant engine enamal paint that is pasted on to me.  Is that going to be good enough for the heat???  It is good up to around 900 degrees Celcius.  

I have yet to learn how to change my pads, so it this a job I should get myself some professional help, or a manual?

Thanks

Some sports cars have painted calipers from the factory that last more than a third of a year...how are they done.  Somebody makes a product that is actually called caliper paint, but I don't remember where I saw it.  I've been seriously thinking about painting mine black or silver.

Hey guys, my friend just painted the calipers on his honda, i dont know what he used but i know it was made for that application.  This site sells some caliper paints, they also have trim kits and door sills and stuff http://www.legend5.com/
