Theres special paint just for brake calipers. Its at most auto stores like pep boys, autozone, etc. It ranges up to like $50 bucks.

yep... just use engine enamel.. anything that's heat resistant

don't buy those expensive caliper kits for $50... it's not worth it... same effect

I have the same thing, honestly I was thinking of painting my calipers black, for three reasons.

1. I will match the rear drums.
2. I can go with any color scheme in the spring without worrying about clashing.
3. It hides brake dust.
