Default It's not your computer that needs to be fast

It's your internet connection. Are you gonna mod the computer, too? ;-) I can see it now, led and water cooling...

As far as the actual topic, I thought people were getting the paint at A-zone.

Default Any paint will work. I just did this Sat. for a MN TT'r. I used some auto-parts-store bright red and

a high-temp Clear Coat.
High-temp paint however IS NOT NECESSARY OR REQUIRED.

Your calipers will NOT get that hot to blister any type of normal paint.
As I was re-doing a poor quality job from a few years ago, please do a proper job, and remove the caliper and caliper brackets, clean them properly, and mask the proper area.
You can also remove the rubber guide tubes from the carrier so that you don't have to spend 30 min,. scraping off old paint on them to do a proper job.
