My car isn't RED red, but its a shade of red.
Anyways, currently I have Gloss Black Calipers and brake drums.
I was at Walmart yesterday, and I found some Red "anodized" spray paint. Kind of a red, metalic gloss. Looked really neat. I was thinking about doing that on mine.

I know what your talking about the metalcast stuff right? They have like yellow, blue and red? I wouldn't even use that on my brakes. FOr some reason in my mind I just don't see it lasting like that on the brakes. I don't know, but IMO I don't think I ever saw colored calipers (beside's black or base colors) that i've seen and liked. I'd just stick with black.Comment

Yep! Thats the stuff.
It says it's good up to 500, perfect for things like calipers.
It could be neat. Its only a few bucks and a little work.
Couldn't hurt, if it looks dumb, or I don't like it, I'll just wire brush them off again, and repaint them.

Yea, honestly I've only used the paint on plastic which is probably why it doesn't look right too me, it might be a whole new story on metal. Go ahead and try it. Tell us and show us how it turns out.Comment

you'll want to go higher rating than 500 degree engine paint. same rack at auto zone or advance or wherever you go... get the 1500 degree high temp paint or brake and caliper paint. the standard engine paint can bubble and blister cause the brakes can get REALLY hot!!!\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body ownerComment

The paint on mine right now is "High Temp" paint, which according to the can is rated at 500. Its been on there for 2 months now, still no probs. Hell, if the paint only last like 6 months or something, its not a big deal. Its not like painting these is a HUGE undertaking.
Well... The drums are, because I sandblast those.1997 Cayenne Red Metallic Camaro<br />3.8 V6 M5<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Ceramic Coated Pacesetter Headers <br />Flowmaster American Thunder Catback<br />Full 3.42 & Disc Break Rear End SwapComment
