[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 898199, member: 67547"] Good points, Paul and Les. Even if using a paint specifically made for brake calipers, such as, VHT, Duplicolor, G2, etc. The heat generated by hard sustained stops has been known to approach 1000 degrees. Most of these paints are "continuously" rated at HALF that temp. [b][b] BBQ grill paint? Only rated for 500 degrees of continuous temperature, or 1200 "intermittently", whatever that means. [/b][/b] The calipers may look nice and black now, but NFL. (Not For Long) (Meaning, the first time you touch the brake pedal) :huh: P.S.- Why doesn't NASA paint the silica heat "tiles" on the STS to make them "look" nicer? (To see our tax dollars "at work") [/QUOTE]
