go to autozone and get the high heat caliper or engine paint. also get some painters tape and some break cleaner. use the brake cleaner on the caliper then let it dry, tape off the areas you dont want painted then spray 4 or 5 coats of the paint, let it dry and put tire back on

there's a complete kit at autozone, i think it's the one the person that did the DIY on it uses, it was super easy, I didn't need to worry too much about masking a whole bunch off, cuz it was a brush, and you can't see any brushstrokes at all, i'd recommend the kit from autozone for i think....$15??

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably stop by autozone and take a look
