I used black plastic dip on my calipers and had no problems so far as long as it is a thick coat

High temp engine paint I think it was called grabber green. Didn't look too bad on my cavalier but everyone talked crap on the color choice. However when I'd ask what color I should have used I got the typical answer"red" I've Google's around and saw where people have painted theirs with a silver basecoat and then that duplicolor metalcast which is basically a candy in a can and high temp resistant. Comes in blue red orange green purple yellow and a smoke. I may be leaving out a color.
