Default Painting Break Calipers

I want to paint my Break Capliers, but I'm not too sure what paint to use, if its a good idea and what not to paint? Cheers!

paint just the caliper part. I buy the Tremclad gloss paint and use the brush (dont buy the spray goes all over the place). I would paint the calipers either silver or black...

go to canadian tire and buy those high heat engine paints.. and also get a primer and some sandpaper as well for the grit of the caliper.

btw.. its called BRAKE not break.. sounds like u wanna break it.
