Title: Brake calliper paint suggestions
Post by: SteveW on March 23, 2022, 03:30:54 PM: What does everyone use to paint their calipers?

I tried Simoniz Tough Paint on top of etch primer and one drip of brake fluid has lifted it already.

Sticks like the proverbial to a blanket and is reasonably fluid resistant
