I used a duplicolor kit i bought on sale for $5....works fine, comes with a brush, brake cleaner, paint and some sand paper i think. Any high temp paint should work though. As with any paint, proper prep work is half the battle.

Getting my rear calipers powdered coated. In the process of smoothing out the factory finish. My powdered coated fronts from TCE are looking good after years of use.

Thanks did you take off the calipers or leave them on

To powder coat yes.... To do a good job with paint, yes.

Is there anything I need to mask off on the calipers?

You could have saved a LOT of time and just baked the whole car..

When I did mine, I bought an extra pair of calipers (don't forget the brackets) and painted them off the car. I used the G2 paint, and put at least 4 coats on. Looks great. I'll post pictures later. I only painted what is visible when they are on the car, so I didn't mask anything.

I also used G2 red to paint mine last year...still looks great...uh, but I do not drive the car very often.
As was mentioned, prep work pays big dividends here.
