A while back someone posted something about a spray paint that you can use on your brake calipers that simulates an anodized look. I saw the thing on the Speed channel, and I can't find the post anywhere.

Does anyone know/remember the brand and where to get the stuff. Thanks

HRC Stage II with FMIC.

It is called Metalcast and it is made by Dupli-Color. I am currently using it on my valve cover and calipers. It works pretty nice, be sure you sand the surface first to get it clean. Check out the Dupli-Color website for info. I couldn't find it in any stores around here, but when I was at Carlisle for the Chrysler Nationals, they had it there and I bought some. It had the company's name on the can and phone number, so I called and ordered more. I like it though. It doesn't quite match my AEM Blue Intake, but it's close and it does look anodiezed.

Honestly, I just took my car to the shop today. It was burning oil for a couple days now, and today it was realy bad. I looked at my car when I got home from school and saw there was oil dripping out of my car now (which it wasn't before). I am thinking it's probabally the headgasket because oil was being burned and now also dripping from the back of the block somewhere. This is the best pic I can show you for now. Sorry. The letters on the valve cover have since been sanded so they are now silver. I also painted the header silver with 1500 degree paint. The MetalCast stays on fine, it didn't even smoke at all, just smelled for a day or two. I put on some 500 degree clear coat too when I was finished with it. Be sure to put the ground coat on all surfaces though, if you don't and you're painting on a dark surface the color coat wont look as bright because it is slightly transparent. Just read the directions on the back. I have no complaints.
