 I have used high temperature spray paint before and had the
calipers turn out pretty nice. I bought the paint from Pep Boys
and I got the 1500 degree paint, not the 500 degree stuff. You
just need to make sure to sand the calipers down (I just used
sand paper) and clean them up. Don't drive the car until the
paint has dried completely, or you'll mess it up. I painted my
calipers silver and I thought they looked great.
