I used caliper paint that I bought for about $7 a can. Have had the calipers painted for about 2 years now and the finish hasn't faded at all. I think it's made by Plasticote, which you should be able to buy at your local Autozone or Pepboys.-------------------------

The G2 system is a complete kit containing the paint, brake cleaner spray, mixing cup and stirrer and an application brush. That's one of the reasons it's more expensive than the other alternatives.

Why the **** do you need paint thats good for 900 or 1200 degrees??
Most brake fluid boils at way less than 900.
****, we're not driving down the Mulsanne straightaway at 200+ MPH and then braking hard for a corner here people.....
You really think people are gonna say H3Y Th0s3 c4l1p3r5 l00k m4d tyt3 y0 when you've boiled your brake fluid and are heading towards a cliff and can't stop??
_________________DOT 2___DOT 3___DOT 4_DOT 5
Dry Boiling point______374___401_____446_____500
Wet boiling point ___________284_____311_____356
Let's look at some popular brake fluids and their boiling points:
______________Fluid_____DRY___WET
Castrol LMA DOT 3/4_____446 311
Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3___550 290
ATE Super Blue Racing____536 392
ATE TYP 200____________536 392
Motul Racing 600_________585 421
Castrol SRF______________590 518
Performance Friction_______550 284
All numbers are in degrees Farenheit
So you see, your brake fluid will have boiled and you'll have crashed long before your calipers get hot enough to necessitate the use of 900 degree paint.
Face it, driving on the street your calipers aren't going to get that hot.
Probably not even with heavy duty auto-x will they get that hot, and even if they do, you're driving at one for what 90 seconds tops??Last edited by midnightblue97; 06-01-2004, 07:38 PM.Ryan The middle child is always ignored
