don't need high temp paint, in my opinion. i have sprayed my calipers red using normal spray paint and they stay on for a very long time. unless you do hard braking all the time that is. once i stepped on the brakes until they smoked, and the next day i noticed that some of the paint came off.

get high temp paint if u want them to last. any paint shop should have lah. make sure its high temp like > 400 deg C.

HARD n constant braking on the normal road should be about 400 deg C. refer to sports brake pads...0-400deg C hahahha

anyway. ask them paint guys to show u the container n proof that the paint is high temp. no proof dun paint. be firm.

i read tt someone sprayed his calipers gold as well. about rm150 only plus labour. paint can tahan 600deg C.

go check it out bro.

rm150 is a bit too much la... wanna DIY ma. Cause hightemp paint even if it's imported from usa will be like rm40 only la...
