Custom High Temp Paint

I am trying to find a place to get a custom high temp paint mixed for my calipers. Any ideas?

any good paint shop, especially auto paint, should be anble to do this. look around in the yellow pages and make a few phone calls, you should have no problem

Autozone Has A High Temp Paint, I Believe It Is Engine Paint, So That May Help.

try and get an acrylic as it will hold it's shine if you get enamal it is harder to work with and can become dull very quickly and harder to clean up and freshen up

You local autoparts store should have some. Summit sells some too (SUMMIT_RACING). They have gold also. I shop there all the time, but it's mainly because I live 5 minutes away from them.

He is right, but if paint them right the color will last for a long time. Eventually you will have to touch them up though, there is no getting around it.

Because they begin to rust really quickly and look like crap.
