Default Need opinion on painting calipers

i just got a new mustang and want to do some stuff to it but just don't have a whole lot of cash atm bc of payments. but i went in to o'rileys today and saw some duplicolor caliper paint and picked it up for 20 buck or so. got home tonite and did some reading up before goin to town and found that the quality of it doesn't last. I was just wondering if anyone new could point me in the direction of some good paint.

Default caliper paint

i used dupli-color red 1200 high-temp with ceramic engine paint 6 months ago and they are still looking good. I even used a small paint brush to paint them. no problems here with that paint. just keep them clean and it will last forever.

Anybody have any pictures of the G2 kit in blue? I'd love to see what it looks like?

I used the duplicolor kit with the brush and it worked great. It was inexpensive and I haven't had any issues with it yet.

With the dupli-color I used to paint my valve covers (see sig) its an almost perfect color match to my redfire.
