Default Wondering where I can order some good paint?

Hey guys! First off, I'm a girl so if I say anything dumb give me a break. Anyway, I drive a silver Celica GTS and I don't like the red tag on the back so I wanted to paint it a purple or something like that.. but I don't know where to order the paint. I also would like to use the paint possible in the disc breaks or something... so the paint would have to be both able to withstand heat and able to withstand rain/water. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions! Any sites would be great.. and before you say it, yes I know I'm a ricer.

You can spray paint calipers just go to the hardware and buy thr proper paint and do good prep work. Be sure not to get any chemicals on the pads.

I dont know what red tag you're talking about. Please show me so I can tell you

and make sure there is no grease on the stuff or it will fisheye. you can use dawn to clean everything up and then wipe with rubbing alcohol and shoot away.

what red tag are you referring to, i'm not familiar with celicas. but as for the brake calipers, just pic up some high temp paint that should be available at major auto parts chain stores or home improvement shops. the key is good prep work, maybe some light sanding and some splashes of simple green

Sorry it took me a while to respond. Don't have a pic of my car.. but here's just some celica I found online. Only the GTS has this red tag.. the regular GT is silver
