Message	I did a complete removal/dissasembly of the calipers, sandblasted them, hit them up with some brake parts cleaner 10mins before paint and then hit them up with 5 light coats of duplicolor engine enamal (rated at 500deg, a little more than VHT paint) to the color of Chrysler Industrial Red followed with 2 coats Duplicolors clear engine enamal to give it a little extra shine. I was very satisfied with the results. My only disappointment is forgetting to sexy up the hard ware kits. I also painted the center areas of the rotors with a satin black engine enamal.
