[QUOTE="94Pro-5.0, post: 346263, member: 9787"] also, don't put the paint on too thick. The calipers get hot, so if you put on too many coats it will crack, even if you use high temp paint. powder coating is the way to go, but if you can't afford it, this is how i'd do it sand with 80, then 180. This will make it coarse so the paint will stick. sand the first coat barely with 320. put on 2 more light coats then, like handz said, sand off the paint on the letters (if you have the letters) and you could even put a thin coat of high temp clear over that.
