Could you spray your brake calibers in candy paint or will the heat make it peel??

your caliper should be fine as long as you sand blast it 1st Reallreally needs to be very clean......but make sure you tape off good no sand in it anywhere...

If your planning on doing this on a car you drive regularly I'd just powdercoat them... The quality of the paint is gonna deteriorate pretty quick on calipers.

If you spray them in just base coat they will last through the heat as well. I've been painting my blocks that way for 5 years and the first one still looks great.
