I used VHT caliper paint. Did about maybe 4-5 coats.. and it looks great. I bought it at a local automotive parts store, not crappy tire, but I'm positive on the name brand, VHT.<BR>It's heat resistant up to something crazy like 900 deg. F. which, in my opinion, if your calipers and drums ever get that hot you have problems
<P>Anyway.. sells for about $10 CDN for a spray can, and it comes as a normal paint too. I still have about half a can left, so 1 can is plenty, cheap mod that looks good.
