So who make a paint and decal that can handle heat? My front calipers have obviously been pretty hot:
Note the gold appearance of the Lexus which should be silver. Since the brakes have been pretty baked by track use, I'd really like to refinish them with something that won't change color or burn off (like a decal) when I go to the track.
Street drivers - let me know if you've ever seen this on your brakes, I have my doubts any of you have. Track drivers - anybody else been to a track this hard on brakes? What have you done to refinish your calipers?

Back in the day I used to work in a body shop so I got some custom mixed Sikkens paint put into spray bombs and did mine in brembo gold then I put the stickers on and used clear engine enamel over top.
I did my X5M brakes as well.
I had project Mu big brakes I loved the contrast they gave my Grey and black theme on my G35 I had black Wilwood brakes before and these really popped but I would use the color on anything besides Project Mu

I'm going to do my calipers in MRM with Obsidian Black exterior. Just the right shade of red I think and will keep the color an oem which I think makes it a bit more interesting.
Did you use the 12oz cans from automotivetouchups.com, and if so how many did you order to do all 4 calipers?
Thanks!
