Re: Calliper paint
I don't think any off the shelf paint will resist brake fluid - not even Smoothrite. So you can really go with what you want (unless you
want the original colour).
Just have to be careful when it comes to bleeding them.

Re: Calliper paint
Paint and calipers are not easy bedfellows, I hate working on my bikes brakes just because of the fear of a drop of fluid hitting the caliper.
Anyone found a good match in powdercoat?
Some one must do a decent match.

I use Dot 5 silicone fluid as it doesn't damage paint.
