can anyone recommend a brand of caliper paint. since I got brand new ones for the front and rear of squeeky, I might as well bling them a little.

VHT Caliper paint. Works pretty well. Done several calipers, holds up well. You can buy it at AutoZone, C.A.P., etc. I just painted my diff. covers with it.

What would happen if you just used regular spray paint?? That's what I just picked up in yellow and I was going to do my diff's in it, not the calipers.

Ok, well my guess is that regular paint will bubble/chip/crack/peel/look like poopy after while on the calipers. <edit>or explode!! <edit>

regular white spraypaint. So then I guess I can just use regular yellow spray paint and not have any problems? No exploding or chipping or cracking?

Nope youll be fine. Just make sure your hands are clean/dont let any gear oil leak out from overfilling or youll get big black fingerprints/streaks on the cover, then you have to worry about it looking like poopy. Like mine.

autozone sells a caliper paint kit, different colors and such..those kits usually have good paint very resistent against road salt and such...to each his own!
