what kind of paint do you use & what is the basic technique?

Use some high temp paint, 500 degrees should hold up fine. I got some grill painting primer, sprayed 3 coats of that on (thin coats for all the paint) Then painted 3 coats of base color, then 3 coats of clear. Let that all dry overnight before driving at all. Just make sure you clean up and sand the caliper first before putting any paint down. Sand it down, and then use some brake part cleaner.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/512325\" target=\"_blank\">2004 Silver Impala</a> Faster than my Firebird<br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=282862\" target=\"_blank\">3.4L Red 1995 Pontiac Firebird</a><b> For Sale</b> -
