I'm pretty sure he did use a high heat paint, shark. [/align][/align]Some things I forgot to mention above:[/align]You'll need to be careful doing your brake jobs and such. I used the duplicolor kit on my calipers and I have noticed aminimal, but noticable chipping around the edges. Granted my calipers were removed 3 times since I painted 'em.[/align][/align]There are more colors you can get.... G2 makes Pink(yuck!), Red, Yellow, Blue, Silver Metallic, Black, Purple(yuck!), Green, White, and Butternut kits. Those kits are like $37.[/align]

I really wanted to do the whole thing but I used the Spray can of caliper paint and I didn't want to get paint everywhere. I should of brushed it on like you did. Maybe next spring when the wheels go back on I'll re-do them. you're look nice. Maybe I should have gone with yellow. Ah, the red matches the Z-71 emblems so I'll probably stick with that. On my last truck, I did the whole things and even the outside portion of the disks. Turned out nice. I think I have a pic? Nope. They are on the laptop that crashed. If i ever get them off of there, I'll post one.
