I'm looking to paint my front and rear calipers this spring. I did a search for this one paint, VHT High Temperature Brake Cliper, Drum & Rotor Paint. I guess it a gloss paint that is offered through Afterthoughts Auto.
I was wondering if anyone has used this product and if you like it or not?

dont buy that caliper paint its a waste of money.. i went up to oriely auto parts, or u can go to autozone... buy the ENGINE paint... its in a spray can.. it can withstand temperatures up to 500 which is well good enough... iv had on my brake calipers for 4+ months... works perfect and hsnt came off at all...
brake caliper paint runs for like 30 bux
engine paint 3 bux
I have the "chevy orange" on mine... i realy highly doubt they will et up to 900º unless ur going 118 and slam on them then go 118 then slam on them again and over and over for like 3 times... highy doubt it
The rotors get hot, the calipers don't get so hot unless you're trully road racing. I'm sure an hour doing 130-40mph slowdowns would tend to cook the paint, otherwise forget about anything over 500degF
The thing you need to get is something capable of withstanding brake cleaner - an engine enamel or POR15 would work well. Sure paint might stick now, but it'll be eaten off in a heartbeat if you ever work on your brakes.

Is it a chemical or a name brand? I mean, can I go to a store and buy a bottle that says "POR15", or would it say something like "Plasti-Kote POR15"?
And Dom, here's an idea: use caliper paint, THEN coat it over with clear engine enamel? Opinions?
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
