there are caliper paint kits and there is high heat paint (usually for engines)... I've used both with great success. key is in the prep work, cleaning your calipers really really well.

ya as long as you get all the crap off the caliper with some fine sand paper any paint should last.

Dito. You'll need sandpaper for sure but, just for good measure, I'd use brake cleaner first to get the oils off of it...be liberal, then, hit it with sandpaper.

i used that VHT or DHT its 10 bucks for a spray can at CT, its holding up for 2 years so use that. Just make sure you sand your calipers nicely and wash it off and let it dry before painting. Plastic bags are your friend.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
