I am just about to paint my calipers, found some heat resistant paint to 500 degrees..... I am not sure if our caliper can get hotter than that under heavy (traffic) breaking.

Any Ideas?

 

if there is a walmart near you (I'm sure there is) check out the automotive section for "Duplicolor brake caliper paint kit" or something along those lines, it has the high heat paint that you'll need to paint the calipers.

 

Thanks the store was out of my color.....

I found engine paint in the correct color and it resists heat to 500 F...... Looking on line dot 4 brake fluid boils at 446 F .....

I do not think I will get that hot unless I go to circuit racing for 100 laps.

 

try autozone, pepboys, discount parts they all carry the same stock, try reading the caliper paint box and see what THAT paint stands up to.

500 I just read it off the internet
UNLESS I LOOKED AT THE WRONG PAINT i WILL POST WITH THE INFO

 

Just got off the phone with the Dupli-color tech hotline 1(800)247-3270

They informed me that the Heat resistance of the Caliper paint was rated for heat up to 500

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks, that indeed confirms that the one I have will work as well..


Thanks a lot!!!
