Default caliper paint

Thumbs up for G2 caliper paint. I got tired of touching up my brake calipers when the high temp paint kept peeling, usually at the edges of the caliper. I recently stripped off the old paint and repainted with G2 two stage high temp paint. They advertise it as ceramic. Not sure if it has actual ceramic ingredients or is just a high quality epoxy paint, but it has good coverage, dries fairly quickly to an very hard, very shiny finish and so far has no indication that it is going to peel even after some repeated hard stops that heated up the brakes. About $45 for a 4 oz can plus the activator.

What paint have you used in the past that you've been unhappy with? I've got Dupli Color caliper paint on mine and have been satisfied.

I used high heat engine enamel spray paint to do the calipers on my other car, I did about 3-4 coats of paint and then 3 coats of clear. Its held up great.
