Caliper Paint

What are your thoughts about Caliper paint? Anybody have any experience with it? Any tips or suggestions before I take the challenge.

Any of the caliper paint you buy at the local auto parts stores will work. Just make sure you prep it/clean it well before applying tht paint. If colored calipers are what you are looking for, it'll do the job.

I disagree, use ceramic brush on caliper paint - and clean it extremely well with a brush and brake cleaner, its the only thing that lasts!

Yep, I used Duplicolor a couple years ago and it's fine
Just recently had to grind the caliper brakets and touched it up with the Duplicolor kit

I have had good luck with the Duplicolor. Like they all said make sure you prep well or it will just look like Sh*t. I love the look of a well painted caliper.
