Anyone tried Raybestos calipers element 3?

They are most likely going to be OEM ones that have been remanufactured (restored) so they should be of good quality. We got the RAYBESTOS for my dads HD2500 and its been good so far. One thing to note is it came uncoated so a quick coat of paint would be a good idea before installing.
 
what is your preferance for painting the calipers.

Based on that seems they will rust pretty bad up here on the rustbelt :(
I have had bad luck the with high heat rustoleum. Started flaking off after a year. And I prepped them properly with sanding and cleaning. Primed and clear coat. Didn't last on the valve cover either.

Next time ill go with VHT to Dupli-color.
