Caliper/Rotor paint??
Anyone know of a brand or source or have experience with a high temp Gloss Black paint that I can BRUSH on my rear calipers and the rotor areas where the wheels mount; not the area where the pads touch...the part that always gets rusty. I want to paint these like the black paint used on the front rotors that have the chrome word "Corvette" lettering. All I've been able to find is sold in spray cans.

I just did mine in red a couple of weeks ago., go to schucks or autozone and get a caliper paint kit, varied colors, just over 20 dollars. Comes with cleaner, ceramic high temp paint, masking tape and applicator. It was an easy job and came out great. Looks good with new chrome zr-1 rims.....

DupliColor has a brush on ceramic caliper paint, I bought it a Wally-World for about $15. Comes in a kit with cleaner, paint, masking tape, instructions and brush. It was a very easy job and has stayed with it so far.

Holy Crap, your rear suspension and brakes look fantastic, best I've ever seen.
