Have you guys (or ladies) used any of these caliper paints? TIA, comments and recommendations appreciated.

In alphabetical order, here are the ones that I found via google/etc, or already knew about:

Duplicolor

Each respondent to my poll can vote for 2 choices max.

I have all four brake calipers off of a vehicle and they are ready (degreased, blasted, new seals, etc) for installation. FWIW, I plan on painting them black, but I am tempted to paint them silver.

Also, I have used POR-15 on suspension parts for a different vehicle in the past and was pleased with the long-term results.
 
I painted my brake parts with POR-15 quite a few years ago. The trouble is, you need to 'cure' that paint with heat prior to using it in anger. So I baked all the relevant components in the oven.
Wife came home to a house smelling like the local airport....but she got over it....eventually...like about a week later. :lol:

BTW...no rust or evidence of discoloration even after 15 years. :thumbsup:

This is where a cheap toaster oven from GoodWill comes in handy. Can set it outside and bake away without having to suffer the wrath of the Mrs.
 
I just stole her entire stove and took to the shop... of course after she caught me using it in the house first, so I bought her the new two door that she always wanted! Also use a cheap toaster oven, as noted above, for small parts...
