You will need heatproof, If you do buy some don't buy the halford rubbish as mine set on fire after being painted with "heat proof" paint.

I just used black hammerite paint. Worked a treat. Not flaked once either.

Dont use hammerite if you track your car. It melts.

The halfords stuff was also rubbish for me.

I also used black hammerite. Not used on track though, but mine was fine.
Brushing it on will be better than spraying too, if your planning on doing it without taking them off the car.

I've done a track day and it hasn't melted

 

[Emma.]

Mine did

 

[James28]

Eurgh. That looks rough lol!

 

[Gavin.]

I have used Hammerite on mine and it's been fine. Again no track days though.

 

[Emma.]

It didn't smell or look it when the paint was dripping onto my wheels.

Thankfully not my Turinis

Serves you right for painting standard calipers in bright yellow :rasp:

 

[Emma.]

Lol.

I like yellow. I can't be a complete sheep. I need to be a rebel of some sorts

 

[.Andy.]

Totally with you on that, just not with standard calipers. IMO.

I got my Caliper paint from ebay, good for 500 degrees and never ever has a problem, saying that I never did a track day with them..

 

[gavlar]

Thanks guys, think i will try to find some blue heat proof spray. Dont know what my chances are lol

I painted mine yellow, the only way to roll

Mine have never melted, as a lot of people have said, I've never done a track day, but I've cooked my brakes a few times on the road, just probably not hero enough to melt the paint
