    I am painting all parts to my front end and I was wondering if I need a special paint for the brake calipers. I am using Rustoleum Hammered paint for my suspension parts (just like Hammerite). It looks great on my a arms but I wanted to see if there wasn't a special paint for calipers. Any help would be great.

    thanks

    The paint that you are using will work fine,I painted mine red on my 50's style A coupe and they stayed that way with no problem.

    If you have a PepBoys near you they carry caliper paint. If not I would only use caliper paint or engine paint. Remember they heat up regular paint wont withstand the temps for long.
