I used the house brand of high temp engine paint (ford block color red) from Discount Auto Parts...
I just did the two fronts so far. I may do the rears but the effort on the fronts was enough for one day in the heat.

i may not have needed to be concerned, but I shied away from....
paints with temperature tolerances of around 500. Now I don't really know how hot brakes get (but I think it's probably pretty darn hot), so I bought actual "caliper" paint by VHT. Temp tolerance is 900 degrees. Didn't look a bit pink going on, either. <grin> Have we seen pics of yours, Tom?
