I want to paint my calipers and mounts white, would that be a bad idea? Maybe with gettin dirty to fast or sumthing like that?

Or you can just buy the real brake laquer (used on aircraft) off of eBay, put a coat on, and never have to reapply any. Just wipe them off when you clean your rims (wash car).

I have had my white w/ this stuff for 2 years, no fading, about a 1/8" nice thick brush on coat.
