Painting calipers Q's

Okay, do they sell a paint that I could acutally dip a paintbrush into it and then just apply? I know it sounds dumb, but I got something planned. Or is there a high temp paint I could subsitute that would work on them? Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

i just used high temp engine spray paint. If you want to paint something custom on your calipers you can always mask that off. Mine has lasted 3 months probably. I also put on some of brents CAMARO decals on the fronts and clear coated over them to help glue them on and no problems yet.

Yeah, but I heard of some people getting overspray everywhere. Also since I am limited on time, I figured just painted em so I would not have to worry about that. I don't trust my spray painting skills lol. There is not like a high temp paint they sell at a hardware store that someone knows of?

Cool thanks! I'll just get the name and see if find it here locally because the wheels get balanced on monday and wanted to do before then so they can torque everything correctly.

Looks good But it looks like it got out of hand on the rotor lol. No offense. That is why I am trying to avoid spray because I could not spray paint stuff to save my life. I went to O'reilys and they had some high temp paint in a bucket. Picked a couple of those up and will get to work on them tomorrow. Yours look nice none the less. What type of clear coat do you recommend? I could care less if I get overspray of that.
