07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	What's going on guys. I wanted to paint my calipers this weekend. I was going to use some yellow paint. What type of paint do i need? Also are their any other items that i should have to make the job look good and last awhile? A car is only as good as it's driver.

You will definitely need a paint that can withstand the heat, so maybe an engine paint or you could buy a caliper kit although I've heard the paint that comes with that isn't heat resistant enough.

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	The Duplicolor kit is pretty nice. It comes with everything you need. Cleaner, paint and brushes. I haven't had any problems with my calipers yet "gonna wash my car before i take a nap.. can't rest well knowing i've got the entire cast of A Bug's Life on my bumper" - Vicious -- Want to post a "For Sale" thread?
