Any recommends? The Advance Auto brand is the one in heavy rotation. But is it the best? Red and Black.

    All depends on what color the car is imo.

    My car is silver alabaster. I was thinking red, but it's most common @MallyG‌ . A decent summer color

    hell naw Autozone ? sucks

    the best brand is to get a spray version rated for engines

    and then go to a regular paint shop and find the color you want and mix it with the engine paint

    those paint kits ain't worth ? IMPO



    key tip to make it look nice is to clean your calipers in a good paint stripper (the gel version)

    I will say that the DupliColor kit they sell at autozone will do the job.

    As with most paint, the difference will be in the preparation and cleaning.
    They're brakes. They are gonna get ? .

    Clean and prep the surfaces well. With chemical then a brush to get the crevices. Mask off everything.
    Apply 2-3 coats to give the thick look
