tintop caliper paint
just picked up a new car for the wife and kids yesterday a lovely honda accord tourer with all the leather and elecrtic bits. any way i want to paint
the calipers and the question is will engine laquer be up to the temps, bearing inmind this is the family car so wont be driven hard. what sort of
temp range will this work upto as ive got some in my garage..

Last car i did this on i used Hammerite metal paint. So engine paint will be more than man enough for the job!

Any paint should be fine, but you can buy proper caliper paint from your local motor factors that's not affected by brake fluid.
