What's a good paint use? Also should they be removed first and primed?

I re-did my calipers on my supra with engine paint because that was the only high temp type I could find in the color I wanted. It held up perfectly fine and was very simple. I took the caliper off the car cleaned it with degreaser and did about 4 coats.

I really like the orange calipers some of the Japanese F's have! My calipers are currently white on my SFP and I like it but I might look into orange soon.

Is that the same 'orange' tone that's used for the new stock Japanese market ISFs?

I don't know if it's the perfect match, but they look verry similar !
