How to paint brake calipers?
Is there any write up on how to paint your calipers? Do you all have any tips? How many coats of high temp. paint should be used? Will paint cause heat build up?
Thanks,

^^^^^do what happy says. And do a about 3 or 4 coats to make sure that the paint stays on. Here is a slow @ss link to be a guide. Good luck!

Just use Duplicolor, man.
Get it from Autozone.
Do what Happyricefob said.
Don't take the calipers off the wheel.
clean off with some engine degreaser or wheel cleaner.
Spray a few coats, allowing to dry how long the paint says on can.
I used Duplicolor Clear coat.
It takes a long time to dry, but it makes it even more shiney.
Mine is every bit as shiny as the G2 kits I have seen.
It only cost like $8 to do.
Go for it.
