I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work. But, I used the Folia Tec stuff. It's expensive, but I painted mine almost 4 years ago and it still looks really good. It's epoxy-based and really thick. It brushes on. I rebuilt the calipers when I painted them, so I wanted to take them off of the car anyway. I used 1 1/2 cans of brake cleaner and I used a wire wheel in my electric drill to get them as clean as possible. It's paid off the way the stuff has held up all this time. Cheers!

I didnt know the folia tec stuff was brush on, if so I saw a gd on it and will buy it soon. The thing is, I would rather spend abotu $10 and do all my calipers rather then $60, but then again it will hold up a lot longer and is brush on. Thanks for the help.
