    VHT Caliper Paint

    Nothing there but.. I didn't even know there was such thing as caliper paint til now.

    A few of my friends and my brothers just use heat proof paint.

    I have found some for you although they are not caliper paint.

    11oz. Purple Anodized Metal Spray Paint

    This one below is caliper paint.

    I had my calipers done in 2-pack paint with a clear coat finish - stops them chipping as much, and it looks as good as it did 12 months ago.

    I can vouch for the Purple Anodized Metal Spray Paint, Ive used it on various engine parts & Ive used the silver on my calipers & it stands up really well to the heat.

    I got it done for free - I just had the calipers sitting down at the local holden shop waiting till they painted something else red. I'd assume it wouldn't cost more than $50 usually.

    Im sure any paint that is able to be applied to extractors would easily be applied to calipers with no problem.

    Duplicolour Metalcast Colour Paint - Purple Anodized, MC204 - Supercheap Auto

    Thats the one you are after I think?

    I just found this one too, its made for Calipers and Drums.

    K&H SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES - AUTO RETAIL

    CTRL + F (find) and tyep "DISC DRUM CALIPER" and it will come up with anodized purple made for calipers.

    Clicking distributors I see the following although no idea if its stock or you would have to order:
    Autobarn Pty Ltd
    Auto One Group
    Autopro Stores
    Burson Automotive
    Repco Auto Parts
    PEP’S Auto Spares

    You think brakes don't get over 260 degrees? As long as you don't drive over 10km/h you'll be right....

    I got the purple paint from Supercheap, dont ask for heat proof paint, ask for the anodized paint, and ignore whatever advice the pimply kid tries to give you.

    I used the power plus spray paint from supercheap on my vt's brakes almost a year ago.
    All I did was clean the brakes with soapy water and a wire brush, apply paint in three coats allowing 15-20mins dry time between each coat and that was it nothing else.
    Still looks as good as the day I did it, apart from the brake dust lol.
    VT V6 fitted with DMS gold 40mm coilovers, Whiteline adjustable swaybars & strut brace, 330mm AP racing brakes, Rebuilt 3.45:1 LSD and a Powerdyne supercharger
