yea id take them off and do them, i did mine while they were still on then a few weeks ago my friend came over and we used the same paint on his eclipse but we took them off and scrubed them and they came out a lot better, i plan on redoing mine next time i need new pads

if you do em on the car, at least take the pads off that way they remain black and have nice contrast. otherwise theres way too much of the color.

but yeah you can get any high temp paint. at autozone they have VHT caliper spray paint in any color.

but you still have those green neons? if so go with green calipers.

that's what I say. It would be different, not one of the common colors. White would be cool, but the dirt would show up so easily. You'd have to cleam 'em a lot.

What kind of green? I'm thinking lime green here.

Anodized green from the Duplicolor metal cast series would look nice. So would Duplicolor Engine Enamel in Grabber Green. Though I think the anodized green would look pretty cool.

Question is could anodized green take the heat though?

 
Rep Power: 1046

yes. The anodized blue has. But what I did was lay a layer of black high heat down, then the anodized base coat, and then a lot of layers of the metalcast color, and then 3-4(if not more) coats of high heat clear gloss. Mine's been doing fine. No discoloration, and they look great.

Ah so you used like layer of primer (which in this case was black paint).

 
Rep Power: 1046

yes, but only to help a little. But the anodized is heat resistant up to 500 degrees.

 
Rep Power: 1046

the metal cast system includes a special primer base, and then the color.

I wonder how that color changing paint would look?

 
Rep Power: 1046

Depending on the color it may look good. Check and see if it has any heat reistance at all. If not, I'd stay away.

I know their is an ice version that is green blue and I think purple.
