Best caliper paint?
 

I am going to paint the brake calipers on my 2023 Jaguar F-Pace and looking for recommendations on the best paint to use. I do NOT want to spray paint them unless that is absolutely the VERY BEST BY FAR option. (They will be painted bright red if that makes any difference.)

Recommendations, please.

TIA!

This is a two part paint with paint and a hardener. It's a high temperature epoxy paint that is very tough. Once painted on the caliper it "flows" to hide any brush strokes and ends up with a beautiful gloss finish.

Get a set of small artist bushes because the one in the kit us useless. Mix up half the paint/hardener and do two calipers and when done with them mix up the rest and do the other two. No need to remove the calipers from the car.

That stuff is awesome. My son used it on his Mustang calipers and they looked brand new OEM.

I used the Dupli-Color caliper paint kit on my MR2 years ago & they still look like new.
It comes with everything....a cleaner, stir stick, brush...:thumbs:

I did these calipers literally with Rustoleum rattle can paint. One $6 spray can did all four. I hand painted the raised red.

This pic is 2 years old on the black caliper paint. You really don't need to buy into all the paint hype for calipers.

Check out TPS Motorsports. You can get calipers powder coated whatever color you want. This might be a better option.

Duplicolor worked great!
 

Update: Than you all for posts/suggestions.

Opted to go with Duplicolor (red) and very happy with results.

One recommendation: buy additional brushes. The brush that comes with the kit is useless after first use…paint makes it hard and useless for a second (or more) application. And get some small detail brushes for the tiny parts.

Cheers!
