He's right that will happen but only if you use "regular" paint. You need paint designed especially for brake calipers. It's not exspensive at all Auto Zone had a can for $8.99. The red on my calipers isn't chipping or anything.

will one can paint all 4 calipers? And did you only paint the outsides of the calipers or the whole thing?

my buddy painted his calipers and it still is nice looking an hasn't burnt off. i believe just one can should do it. i have some of the paint i picked up at the auto store but i haven't done it as it seems to much work for my lazy ***. you just need to tape the rotors etc. unless you get the paint that comes with the little paint brush.
