before i paint my calipers
i just wanted to confirm with u guys of the paint im going to use
as in the DIY for caliper painting, nexus used Japlac High Gloss Lacquer for his calipers, but he used that cuz he lives in scottland, and tahts international paint. he said he had no problems with heat.

another brand is G2 brake caliper paintsystem set... there paint set is actually for calipers, so there are no problems with anything, including heat.

heres the thing, i want to color match my calipers with the color of my car (monaco blue) bcuz i still have stock brakes, so i dont want to make them too flashy like red, but just not how they are now, so i think that a dark/navy blue color would do just fine. and i really need to paint my calipers bcuz my rims have a lot of space between thier spokes...

problem is the g2 paint set only has 8 colors, and their blue paint isnt the color i am looking for, its too bright, cuz i want sumtn thatll match with monaco blue.
the Japlac High gloss paint however does have the color navy blue ( as shown in their site http://www.international-paints.co.u...10&surfaceid=7) and thats a close match. but i dont know how to order this paint, and could i purchase it here in the US???

if not, do yall have any suggestions of where i can find high heat paint that has a variety of many colors, i.e. sumtn to match monaco blue like dark blue? greatly appreciated

also...
i found this high heat paint:
http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html

this brand offers a lot more variety in paint, however theres 2 kinds...
1 that resists up to 500 degrees F...
and the other that resits up to 1200 degrees F....

problem is the 1200degree paint doesnt come in the color i want
however the 500 degree paint has many colors, and a few of which i like and match monaco blue very nicely, but its engine enamel paint....
could this be used to paint calipers, or no??? like does it not have enough heat capacity to be handeled as caliper paint, or will it work fine, cuz i would love to order it.

*sorry, im not too educated heat of calipers/paint

anyone have any reccomandations?

[ironic]

i'd honestly jsut paint ur calipers black, it'll be in the shade of the wheel at all times neways, if you paint it navy blue it might be a little nicer, but chances are it'll be dark and look like a black anyways

G2 brake caliper paint is the best that I have used... it looks almost like the calipers were powdercoated.
