Default Good paint for Calipers??
Im painting the calipers on my black 94 5.0L...
I went to Richlins and Walmart today to look for Red paint (Rust-oleum paint)
Unfortunately the only kind of red they had was really dark, not a bright regular red that I want.
What is a good brand of paint to use that has a nice vibrant red?!
