slick Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I've used high temp engine paint and high temp clear with great success. No fading, didn't wear off. Obviously, preperation is key. You will need to completely degrease your calipers. Brake cleen and a wire brush will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 cool, i am going to go pick some up now and start getting them ready for paint, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I used regular automotive paint with Dupli-color high heat clear. Its been working awesome so far! Really you dont need high heat paint if you use a high heat clear. Cause the heat will no affect the paint it will affect the clear. so just use whatever paint you want, but make sure you use a high heat clear!

mediabandit Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 ok i went and got the paint, i bought high heat primer, '91 torch red touch up paint (spray bomb) and i bought some high heat clear, so i should be good now, i started cleaning up the calipers already and only have a little more to do before i prime and paint them, i will post some pics later on once i have a chance to get it all done. thanks for the info guys.
