brake caliper paint

hey guys,
I am getting new rotors so I decided while those wheels are off to do the steel brake line kit, figured I could paint the calipers too.
while I got everything apart I want to do everything I can.

So here goes my question:
has anyone tried the JCWhitney brake caliper paint?
its only $11 I figured its worth a shot unless I hear some negative comments, my other option is a $50 kit from G2, looks like same stuff JCWhitney has but comes with brake cleaner and clear gloss finish. Anyone have any comments?? TIA.

If it were my car I would use Folia Tec Caliper paint. IMO it is the best caliper paint. If you can use gold (I have 1 kit left) I'll sell it for $34 shipped.

Any high temp paint will do. You can either mask off the rotors and wheel well and spray them, or use a brush to paint them.

Don't waste your money on these "Caliper Paint Kits". Buy a can of high temp paint at your auto store and use that, it will work the SAME!
