    Should be able to purchase paint made specially for this application from your local auto parts store. If not I would think that anything made to with stand high heat would work. I dont know if you can get the caliper paint in white or not? Never really paid that much attention to it. Red is pretty popular around here. Not really my thing though. Later

              Or you could just pick up any HIGH temp enamel paint. Rustoleum is always a good choice.

              ...adjust accordingly

                As far as the front calipers go, they don't really need high heat paint. They never get that hot. You can go autocrossing and still touch them (just don't touch the rotors). The rear drums, on the other hand, need high heat paint, so it's easiest just to buy high heat for all. Even WalMart sells caliper paint, but I've never seen white

                  *SIGH* i've said this a hundred times on here. the myth of needing high-heat paint for calipers and drums is false. I'vepainted many calipers, drums, valve covers, even the block on a show car with basecoat clearcoat. I can take pics today of a blazer i did, i think it will be in the shop. He has a red/orange fade on his front calipers. the only thing i wouldnt recommend it for would be like the header.

                    True that BUT I could reuse the paint for other applications as well.

                        the front brakes are vented and the rear ones are non vented rite?
