Default High temp paint.

Does anybody know where I can find a high temp paint that will closely match the "Aurora Mica Blue"?

Also, is there anything to know about painting brake calipers? Whats safe/ not safe to paint? Or a best method?

with the brake caliper paint, ur gonna be stuck with the pepboys rattle can type, if you wanted to do something fancy like paint match ur body color, that is something only a shop would be able to do, painting the calipers is pretty basic, sand, clean, paint, dry.

and again for your color your not gonna find high temp that would even closely match other than a paint shop or oem (just look up your paint code)

I just want something close, not exact.

Do they need primed or anything?

Will normal metal primer work, like rustoleum? Or do they sell high temp primer also?
