Caliper Paint
I just recently painted my car Black from Orange, and the Caliper's were orange. Can i get some suggestions on what color to paint them now?

And which paint is the best for painting Calipers?

Here are a couple of pics of my calipers using the VHT gloss black for the front calipers and flat black on the rear drums. I painted these about 2-3 months ago, they're just a bit dirty right now. There is no chipping, flaking and etc.

Just watch around the bleeder screws...make sure they have the caps on or you'll paint 'em closed.
