Does anyone know what kind of paint should be used? I'm thinking of either black or silver. Thanks,

Hit your local auto parts store and get hi-temp paint. I painted the calipers on my '96 GT using "Old Ford Blue". Just mask everything off, clean them, shoot them with a few thin coats of primer, then several thin coats of the hi-temp paint. It's fairly easy, but time consuming to do it right.

 

Thanks MTAS Since the wheels really expose the calibers, I think I will give it a try.

The best paint is the expoxy 2 part kits. They take a while to dry but are much more durable then sprays and are not affected by chemicals. Its what factories use when they have painted ones. It is brushed on and cost about 40 bucks for a kit.

 

VHT makes a good brake caliper spray paint. I painted my Baer kit red a couple years ago and it's still glossy today. The epoxy kit mentioned earlier is glossier, more durable and will resist brake cleaning chemicals unlike the VHT paint. But, I like the fact I can remove my sprayed on paint at a whim and change colors whenever i feel like it or return it to stock looks very easily.

 

I also used vht on my little corolla and it has held up extremely well and even though you can hardly see it, it does show through for a little custom look...I intend to do this on my stang as well once the weather breaks this coming spring (too cold here to do it now)... It's the torch red exterior so I will probably also use either black or silver.
