Chrome high temp spray paint?
Does any company make chrome high temp spray paint? I just ordered some red calipers and I think that the mounting bracket for the calipers would look amazing in chrome.
I dont think having them dipped will stand up to the heat so a high temp spray paint is the only option (if a option at all).
Im a big fan of chrome and I think it would really set off the red calipers as opposed to just painting them black or red.
I have ceramic pads so I dont think the chrome would get very dirty and if it does I could reach most of the chrome bracket threw the rim.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

No, you won't find chrome in a spray can, hi-temp or other. Of course K-Mart sells such a spray can, even with a great looking chrome cap. Unfortunately it's just silver paint! I really believe that actual chrome would hold up better than any paint would anyway.
Good luck

I've seen them chromed. They look great.
