You don't really need caliper paint - get some glossy high heat manifold paint and use that - it works perfectly, my friend has had his calipers done for months now and they still look the same as they did before.

Foliatec from Tunerworks is awesome stuff, just don't take your car onto the roadcourse and do laps :rofl:

I got High Temp Engine paint from Partsource. Huge can for a few dollars. Works great.

Like Kenny said Foliatec is great stuff. It just won't last on the track if you intend to come out and play.

Better off in getting High Temp and painting them.

If you don't intend on tracking your car, foliatec is the best stuff out there, it stays really bright and shiny and even after multiple solo2 sessions and hard driving nothing happens to it. A quick rinse removes all the brake dust that gets caked onto it.

My rear brakes are still fine after taking my car onto the road course and still look really bright and shiny like the Big Reds :)

My red Foliatec caliper paint rocks!!!! :)

Easy to install -- looks good -- lasts long... just don't take it to the track! :D

Peace

I painted mine on the car. The mixture stuff says that's the way you are supposed to do it. If you remove your calipers, make sure you know exactly what you are doing... brakes help us slow down! :D

LOL

Sorry that this is "EXTREMELY" off-topic... but trendkill... who did you sell your Prelude too? Did you get a good offer?
