Default Plastidipping brake calipers

Do you guys think it would be ok to put plastidip on brake calipers or do they get too hot for plastidip to remain on them?

Best to use engine enamel.

I believe caliper paint has a higher temp rating than engine paint.

caliper paint resists short term exposure up to 300C.



I use Motorspray HiChem Heatproof Coating is a fast drying silicone based coating that exhibits excellent resistance to high

temperatures may be used as a decorate finish on metal products exposed to temperatures up to

500C. It is used on barbeques, wood heaters, wood stoves, exhaust manifolds, mufflers and furnaces etc.
