Ceramic paint?

[megamac83]

Hey guys and girls,

I really like detail, and I would like to know if any body knows where I can get my drum and my caliper paint the same color of my car, which is vintage red pearl? It would have to be ceramic to take all the heat that those parts go through? Thank you in advance,

yo since our calipers are cast iron, does anybody know what would have to be done to get them painted with body paint, some people said it would have to be sanded down, while others are telling me that it would need to be powder coated? how do you paint the calipers the same color as your car?

I don't think you can do anything more than look for a high temp/engine enamel paint that matches your car. The paint that you apply shave to withstand very high temp. Normal paint might not be able to do that.

I know pepboys and autozone carry white and other color 500 degree ceramic paint. I have a can from autozone made by krylon!

I found some from Canadian Tire Store for high heat paint but only few colors.

yeah I know about the engine enamel, but I know they don't have vintage red pearl, I spoke to this guy who did some work on this award winning civic out of VA, and he told me that body paint on the car and withstand up to 400 degress, my only thing is that I spoke to some people that have been telling me that putting body paint on cast iron caliper won't work, so I am trying to understand everything before I try and do it.
