I used this on my S2000.

It did bubble a small amount on the track. 2 part epoxy. Easy to apply with a brush.
I would go with yellow, silver, or black.
You guys have a recommendation for some good caiper paint?
Since the NC's are so big I decided to paint them.

I've always used the duplicolor high temp stuff, and never had to touch it up.

Not a big fan of painted calipers, personally.

Nope. If I had to paint 'em, I'd probably paint 'em black. Shows less brake dust that way.
Of course, my car currently has three rust colored calipers, and one silver one. Apparently Mazda started painting the OEM calipers silver at some point, and the replacement rear I ordered a few weeks ago is painted.

I am full of good ideas, just most people don't call it good ideas!
I use caliper paint from Autozone... black on my Miata, red on the Teg. I just clean the brakes and blast them with cleaner fluid, then put on about 4 coats of paint.

I am not Jon. I do not paint my calipers to match my car, or my race numbers.
I remember being vaguely embarrassed driving Jon's car at Nationals in '06. He painted the calipers yellow to match the car and he used some kind of yellow paint on the raised "Kumho V710" lettering on the tires.

Hah, I painted a set of wheels and calipers for a Mustang owner back in La Grange. This is the car:
You can't see the calipers, but I painted them with bright yellow caliper paint and then went over them with a sparkle clear coat (owner was a girl, that's what she wanted... I had nothing to do with it.... seriously).
To be honest, it looked kind of cool
In my experience, brush-on paint isn't as good as good 'ol spray paint. The red comes out orangeish and it doesn't hold up as well...

Thanks for the suggestions.
I do plan on painting them RED, I'll bet you guys can't wait to see what other horrible things I am going to do to my car :) muuuhhahaha

I used G2 Caliper paint. It is a brush on two-part epoxy.
