Default Caliper Paint

Where can I get the best caliper paint? I know I can go to an auto store and get a high temp paint but I wanna see if you guys know a good brand for just caliper paint....i remember i saw it on a site but i forgot which one and i think it was like 40 bux or so...

also will red look best with my sonic blue gt?

anyone have pics?

+1 on the VHT. Just make sure you get the caliper REALLY clean before you paint or it will chip off.

Personally I think black or a blue would look better than red, but I dont like contrasting colors on a car.

I've used the G2 system on my previous cars, and I plan on doing it on the mustang too. Great quality paint, and it's brush on, so you don't have to worry about masking off, or uneven paint, or overspray. Dries like an enamel. Great stuff.

Same as Duplicolor, and it's half the price of G2
