Red Paint?!?! Where to buy?

Hey guys,
I'm wanting to paint my brake calipers tomorrow, but can't find any BRIGHT RED PAINT!!

I've looked at Lowes, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart...any ideas?

I'm looking for Rustoleum in a can...no spray cans here...I don't want overspray all over my car.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Go to an automotive store and buy high temp engine paint.

In a regular can though?

Take them off and do a good job, spray paint will do just fine. Its a good little project to work on when you are changing out your brake pads. I haven't seen regular hi temp paint in a can yet.

Wal-Mart around here has high temp paint but they don't have any colors that look good. I have helped two of my friends paint their calipers and we got the paint from Belbro auto parts. I don't think they are a national chain but check places like Autozone or NAPA.

I don't need hi-temp paint.

I painted the calipers on my Integra 4 years ago and the paint on them is PERFECT. Never peeled, faded, or came off.

I just used regular rustoleum "fire engine red"....

Someone posted that they painted their calipers by spraying paint in a cup then brushing it on. Said they were happy with the results! The members on the forum are quite ingenious!!!
