yeah i bought 1 can for 7 or 8 dollars and a big can of brake cleaner and just masked off everything i didnt want painted red. its a high temp paint like 400 degrees i put it on 8 months ago and they are still as shiney as the day i did it just scrub the caliper with the cleaner and a stiff brush and spray let tack for i think 20 mins and add another coat i did 3 on each and had enough left to do my mark VIII with 3 coats.

if you get the spray can make sure you take paper and mask off the body. you dont want over spray on that black paint!!! and do it where its warm. good luck!
