Same answer as I listed before.....

Many pictures and comments, if you use the Search Function.

And as I mentioned that, I will say I'm not trying to be a jerk. My intent is to attempt to limit the amount of ENDLESS posts on the same, same, same topics.

I like the G2 caliper paint kit, just google it to order online. Its a brush on, so easier to do while on the car, and lasts pretty good.

Yes, using www.eastwood.com engine paint w/ceramic in it (good to 650*)

a Quart costs less than any caliper paint kits, brush it on & it self levels, looks like a piece of glass. My color is 1964-82 Chrysler Red.

I used black engine exhaust paint. Worked nicely and dried fast.

I used red engine enamel a few years back and it still looks great. Of course that's if you keep the brake dust cleaned off them haha. Didnt take long at all. Well worth the effort.

yes , used Gloss black high temp bar-b-que rattle can paint from Rust-o-lem, 1 hour, but I let it dry over night just to be sure. 3 1/2 years later still is shiny but could use a respray
