Default Painting Brake Calipers

I was curious as to what to paint my calipers with. I have no idea what paint or where to get it at. Anyone have any ideas? This may seem ricey to some, but I think it will look really good if done the right way. Thanks for the time and info guys!

500 degree paint will work it's what i used on mine and it's fine. You need to tape a few things off. I did mine on my car. I taped a few things off and ended up spraying the paint in the paint top and using a brush to apply it. Good luck.

I went the more expensive route, I have the G2 Caliper paint system in my room right now, you can use some sort of degreaser to clean the calipers, then just pick up the paint from a local hardware/paint store.

I paid probably more than you should, but I figured this way I would get everything w/ instructions. That's just the way I am.

To those that dislike the painted calipers, they look so bad *** especially if you have the rims to show them off.
