Caliper Covers?

[Balthane]

Hi knowledgeable people,

The brake calipers on my 2002 IS 200 are somewhat ratty looking and I was wondering about possibly having them painted as the car needs some bodywork doing anyway.

The bloke at the bodyshop suggested that I maight like to think about cosmetic caliper covers as an option as he was worried that paint might not be able to deal with the heat.

Can anyone help me with advice and suggestions as to what is available please?

My mechanical knowledge remains at a level reminiscent of that of an amoeba.

Thanks

Look on e-bay they sell proper caliper paint, or alternatively any high temperature paint will work.

here's a few examples fella.

Hello and thank you very much for your reply and the advice.

Is there a particularly good brand/type of paint?

Thanks again
