well to be able to spray it and forget about it, get the actual caliper paint, they got it at alot of autostores and at like nopi etc... i use engine enamel and just some automotive clear coat, it works fine! alot cheaper also, i used lime green at 1st but w/o the clear coat, it started wearing away and looked like a pea green, kinda hideus... i then stripped em and painted em a dark blue and used clear coat, looks great and never had to repaint em yet. i probably will after winter...
