Dont use paint..brake fluid will eat it...even the epoxy paints.

Paint is easy on one surface, or, two...or three if the surfaces are flat planes...calipers are not easy to spray consistently. they are wavy complex creatures. Light here, heavy and runny there..anything uneven, dries uneven.

But a powder coat, by it's nature is relatively easy to lay down flat and even, and the baking process is somewhat self leveling.

I had mine Cerakoted and are still holding great after 1.5 years of use. I had also rebuilt them. Here is a shot of the rears before install.
