imho, p o w d e r c o a t ........ the places that I know of charge by the pound. you can get quite a bit done for $50 - $100. heat resistant, won't fade or peel.

I've seen small p/c kits at www.use-enco.com on sale for like $250. I tried a quick look today and couldn't find it tho. it's usually in their "hot deals" catalog

i did search...just a different search engine than you...and i got a lot of advertisement crap instead of paint.
but that stuff is soo expensive. and only enough for 4 calipers, which means i would be spending 60-70 to paint the stuff i have painted already, nothing else that i want to paint yet.
im just gonna try the stuff i have right now, and if i dont like it, then i guess i will dish out the coins for the hardcore stuff
thanks tho riz
