Any auto parts store should have it. It's called Brake Caliper paint. It's about $4 a can. You can use high temp engine paint as well. As far as the process, it's not bad depending on which method you choose. Some guys choose to sparay the paint in a cup and brush it on. I beleive this affects the integrity of the paint. I chose to remove my calipers and spray them. Only two bolts per caliper, so not too tough once you break the bolts loose.

well i painted mine red and i got my paint from autozone.... i got one that was like 500 degree paint or w/e that was made for the motor.. on the front of the spray paint can it has a big V8 motor painted the color of the paint... now when u paint the breaks i had trouble with that!! i went to get my new brake pads and the guy at NTB told me that my brakes were frozen so he had to fix that... what he meant was that the brake wasnt moving when i pressed the break.... front two were frozen and i belive back left.. i was breaking on 1 and it was a couple of braks from goin metal to metal so be careful with that! other than that it aint no problem!!!! just make sure u dont paint the pads! good luck!

just put tape over the brake pads... thats what i did and then took it out and the brake pads were great.. for the disk and around... just put tape and paper towels ya konw? the paint if it hits ur driveway will not come off!!! not even pressure washers take it off.. just to let u know! other than that good luck man!

since your using high temp engine enamel, the same thing i use, try brake cleaner. just spray some on your driveway, scrub a lil bit and rinse away. thats how i clean my garage floor when i have problems like that.

the most important thing you can do when painting your brakes is to make sure you do a good prep job. a bad prep job will leave things looking ugly and a paint job that won't last long.
