Euro Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 either VHT Caliper paint(from summit racing i think) or DupliColor makes a caliper paint kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 or you can buy some Dupli-Color High-Temp engine paint and use that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intlcutlass Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I used duplicolor 500 degree paint... I have the Intrax springs also, so I tried to match the color as best I could... It sounds off, but if you use "orange/red" for Chevy on the cap... it's a PERFECT MATCH for the intrax springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I used the DupliColor High-Temp "Ceramic" engine paint on my brackets, and the DupliColor caliper paint (kit) on the calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I've painted 4 different cars. Always used DupliColor High Heat engine paint (like Kevin just posted a picture of). Never had one problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 In my case, they didnt have the color I wanted, so my friend has to paint them with a custom color, then clear it a couple times, but still I shouldnt have a problem with that, once everything is set up. Duplicolor makes some great stuff. I knwo a bunch of people that have used it and are happy with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intlcutlass Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 No pics right now, I am still putting things together..... I want to do it all at once....knuckle swap, fresh rotors, painted calipers, painter caliper brackets, Stainless steel brake lines (if I can find some direct swap lines... I would rather stay away from messing with the fittings) , new CV jounts, Tie rods, ball joints.... I can take pics of what I have so far though.....cool?
