Default caliper paint question

does any high temp spray paint work without chipping or cracking? Or should I get the duplicolor brush on caliper paint kit? For those of u that have done this let me know what u did and how it turned out

High temp paint will work but it will chip and fade over time. Then again, the brush-on paint will fade and chip aventually, too. If you don't mind renewing the paint on your calipers more often, go with the cheap paint.

I used the duplicolor kit as well. So far it looks good. Just need to clean the calipers real good before applying the paint. $15 at autozone.

I did mine with High temp ceramic engine enamel, been on there for a while and still looks great and a lot cheaper than the kit, plus there are many more colors to choose from

i would agree the engine enamel may be the best way to go for durability. Because it's meant to be on an engine that gets supa hot!
