I did my front discs with K & (something) roll bar paint a few months ago and so far none of it shows any signs of degrading. Previously I have used engine enamel but that didn't last very well. Never had any caliper paint when I needed to paint discs.

engine enamel is only 500degF i think, exhaust paint however is like 1200degF

i've used the exhaust paint on my turbo exhaust side with good results!

I used Meguire's products for the job. Have to say its been the best I've ever used for detailing a car.

That would have to be the worlds cleanest VP/R Commodore

What a job !!!! you should have been a detailer....

yeah I reckon. Last time I heard a mate got his clubsport detailed to this level (polish and cleaned interior) he paid 1000 bucks and was more than happy to do so.

I am currently jobless so what ever cash in hand jobs like that help. Doing bit of everything atm.
