Duplicolor Caliper Kit, Red, 8 oz. Half-Pint/Aerosol Kit BCP400: Upgrade with the best Paint - Specialty Paint at Advance Auto Parts

I have the base calipers and used this kit... comes with the brake cleaner and I used an old toothbrush to help clean them up. You just brush it on, and it's a very thick paint. (Don't use the brush it comes with though, it's terrible.)
