Default Painted calipers

I'm not a newbie. I'm a re-registered forum oldie and have a question I should be able to answer mysef. What paint is everyone using to paint their calipers.
Thank you,
Roger

You can buy a special high-temperature caliper paint at an auto store like Advanced Auto or NAPA. You can also use it to paint the innner hub of the rotor (the inner part inside the braking area on the rotor that tends to rust a bit).

Thanks for the reply Lee. I remember when I had my '00 FRC i had bought the paint at Home Depot. Just can't for the life of me remember what kind it was.

The paint at Home Depot was probably just a Rustoleom high temp paint. Don't use that, go with something specifically made for your automobile calipers.
