Anyone used caliper paint - also on wheels?

Question has 2 parts:

Background > No $ for powder coating right now.

1) Anyone used caliper paint? What type?
How does it come out?

2) Anyone used caliper paint on their wheels?
Its supposed to be tough.

I used Duplicolor Red Caliper paint (spray) on the rear brake - it looks good but a slight residue around the bleeder valve bubbles the paint & trashes the look.
The brake fluid residue is almost impossible to remove 100%

One article says high-temp ceramic type brake paint is never completely dry except maybe the Duplicolor paint-it-on with a brush type.

Experience? Tips?

I'm no help with the wheels, But a buddy and I did use caliper paint to paint a gas tank a few years back. Turned out pretty good, and was gas resistant. Went on smooth too, no orange peel to speak of...

I used Duplicolor on the rebuilt front caliper on my TX, and it came out very nicely.

Sprayed the rear wheel with Caliper Black and brake stay with Killer Chrome.
Came out fairly nice.

More better than 30 yr. old finish.

duplicolor makes a paint made for wheels and your local auto parts store should carry it

Have used VHT paints of various sorts (incl. engine abd brake) and have found them all to be good products.
Engine paint can be cured in a oven (no good for wheel though unless you have a large oven!) to improve durability.

One way to get around the brake fluid attacking the paint is to use Dot 5.1 a synthetic brake fluid which does not attack paintwork. This should NOT to be confused with Dot 5 Silicon fluid (Thinks: Then why did they call it Dot5.1 then?) which is not compatible with Dot 3 or 4.

Once I get more hours the rims will get powder coated.
For right now they look pretty decent.

Thanks for the tips

MM: Hadn't thought about the DOT 5.1 fluid - good on yer mate.
