Default Painted Calipers

For all you guys out there who have painted their calipers, how is paint holding up and how long have they been painted?

I have found both spray-on and brush-on, what do you guy's think or what did you use.

Both have advantages. I use brush on. The thing to use is high temp paint, you will be fine.

I have brush on caliper paint on my 98 V6. Its lasted for about 7 mo. no problem. You can buy the Duplicolor caliper paint kit for about 20 bucks.
Will be doing this to my Black 06 GT ..... what color do you think would look good aside from red?
