Yea go to your local auto parts store they sell Caliper paint. You brush it on rather then spray

VHT makes paint just for drums and calipers.I know autozone or pepboys sell it.but engine paint will work to
+1 We did my dad's car with red VHT caliper paint, the red is awesome and it looks sick. Chemical proof too and it cleans soo easy. I bought a can for mine to do this summer )

for a can i think its 7 or 8 bucks, I know Autozone has it for sure. A can is enough for 3-4 coats on 4 calipers with paint to spare
