Folia-Tech 2 Part Epoxy Caliper Painting System is the best stuff out there.

Read the directions for proper application information.

Folia tech is good cause the of one word from what was mentioned above, EPOXY. Yea your $1 paint will work, how much you want a best I blast that with a jet nozzle with a standard garden hose and I can peel off a good bit of that $1 paint?

Folia tech is probably the way the to go. Just more expensive, more time consuming, but obviously results will last forever.

I used Plasti-Kote Brake Caliper paint with a rating of 900 degree coating. I just hope it works, if not I will put them in a pressure cleaner and strip them and redo them.
