heefner Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I sprayed my Calipers with run of the mill paint you would get from the hardware store. The heat shields get a little more heat so a good high temp paint should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alspos Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 I painted the heat shield over my turbo with heat paint (up to 450C) Beautiful red colour, 1 week later the shield was black, but the paint had not cracked or come off, just the pigment changed colour. You should use high temp stuff for brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten93 Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 this stuff works great for caliper and engine parts. Â You want the high heat engine enamel.. when prepped properly it dries to a near powdercoat finish! I used this stuff on a set of calipers on my last car. countless carwashes with cuastic wheel cleaner. And It never lost its shine like other caliper paints.. and i even aplied it with a brush instead of spraying it on them! I also painted the valve cover and cross brace.. Â http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html I used DE 1632 Chrysler Industrial Red got it at Autozone for 4.99 a can ;D here are the caliper 6 months after i painted them! http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/367141/my-SE-R-03.JPG the V.C. Brace and battery hold down all painted at the same time as the calipers. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/367141/MY-SE-R-05.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
