I ask because I'd like to use the "chrome" spray paint on my calipers. I just worry about it being able to hold up to the heat. Any thoughts or experience?? Thanks.

That'* what I used to paint the rotors on my old '95 Trans Am, hi-temp engine paint, it held up great. I just didnt want to use red again, or even silver. I just wanted a little more "bling" for it to stand out. I guess I'll have to settle for silver then, huh? Well, booooo.

There are other choices out there if you look. When I finally get around to doing mine, this is what I'm going to use:

Green if I find a good set of ghetto golds, gold, if I wind up sticking with the silver or go to different wheels.
Those guys have a bunch of different colors. Even purple!
