Default Caliper Paint....

Ok so my Roush wheels are coming in on thursday and Im having them put on on friday.
The shop is gonna paint my calipers but the only color they have is black and Im looking for red.
My questions are... where can I get some... Autozone?
Also and very important... how well do the paints from these stores last and do they have any probs coming off?
Whats the best brands and where do I pick em up? I dont want to have to order online because they are doing it and its on friday. I hope the store brands last....
Thanks for the help!

Any auto parts store should have it. I don't recall the brand, but there's only one that I've seen. It comes in a few common colors: Red, Blue, Black, and Yellow I belive.

It sticks well when done properly. Like any paint job the key to a good looking, long lasting, job is the quality of the prep work. You have to make sure the calipers are VERY clean before painting.

There are two baisc brands the G2 and the Dupli-Color...I used Dupli-color on mine. There were brushed-paint on vs spray can...I've had mine for a while to include a small pony decal I placed. They hold pretty good. No complaints. I bought mine on auto-zone, but I have also seen them on Pep Boys and others.
