Default those expensive Brembo's and others have that paint baked on....

i have Foltec paint $55.00 for the kit or close to that price...i've had mine painted for like 3yrs. and they still look good. they still have to be cleaned every once in awhile.

Default Could somebody tell me why everyone pays $50-plus dollars for caliper paint??

When you can go to your local automotive store and buy hi temp paint and hi temp clear coat for $3.50 each.

Default I used Plasti-Kote Caliper Paint....

....high temp and bright red. Got it at the local Pep Boys. Hint: Don't look for it by the other paints (it's not there). Go to the "Rice Aisle", you know, where they sell coffee-can exhaust tips, Type R emblems and flourescent neoprene seat covers. (I had to ask where the paint was.)

I then used high-temp clearcoat over silver Audi stickers.
