go to auto zone and i they sell high temp paint for brake calipers. i think they also have a kit from duplicolor for like $15.

I got the http://www.duplicolor.com/ stuff and it works great. Before that I spray painted them red. Spray painting was a pain in the ass. It got all over the place even though I tapped everything off and did it in the garage. Definitely get the Duplicolor kit.

Yeah Duplicolor kit here aswell, I sanded my calipers down alot, painted them, sanded, painted. There is alot of paint in the dulpi color kit. I also sanded my upper intake and painted it with the duplicolor paint, ended up liking it. I also painted my brake dust shields chrome with dupli color spray paint. Used a wire brush and brake cleaner. I like the difference it makes, don't expect normal people to notice. http://www.gotstang.com/photodisplay...&showimage=129

so you say there is enough paint to put on all 4 wheels?

Theres plunty of paint to do 4 calipers. You could put two coats on easy. I only used one. I got the red paint off with a wire wheel on my drill. Then cleaned them off real nice and painted. No clear coat or anything.

so red looks the best i think. but my mustang is sliver so the red would be better than yellow?

buy the caliper cleaner too. and make sure you dont spray paint yourself in the face like i did.
