Default Caliper Paint

I plan on repainting my brake calipers and I was wondering what would be a good paint and clearcoat that will last a long time? I plan painting them red since the car is red.

Clean them off with brake cleaner and let them dry. Get some caliper paint and some high temp clear

Duplicolor makes a good kit you can get from any parts store for about $20

Yeah I had saw that. I also saw it at walmart for about 15 bucks. I was just seeing if there was a better brand of paint to use or better technique.

They make a spray on and brush on kit, the spray on works better and the paint lays better when dry, but the calipers have to be off the car to avoid making a mess.
