I use an engine paint and after sanding it down ...I use a tack cloth, before painting. I sometimes use a lighter when I'm spraying to bake it on. Be careful ...no hand hair
From a veteran of doing calipers - first clean them liberally with brake cleaner. Then if they need any sanding do it then although a sand blaster is the easiest method. Prep with paint thinner and then use caliper paint, not engine paint. Caliper paint is actually rated at a lot higher temp than engine paint as believe it or not calipers get much hotter in use that the surface of the engine block. Use at least three light coats to get good coverage and don't bother with any clear coat on top, it won't stick well and what does will start to discolour quickly.
Which of the non-running fleet is getting the beauty treatment?
