I recently purchased new front disk brakes for my 69 camaro. The calipers are just stock, one piston. The calipers are a gray cast color. Do I need to paint them to keep them from rusting? And if so, what type of paint do I use, and do they make a caliper paint that is cast gray in color.

Thanks in advance,
JcGc

I painted mine with dupont engine enamel, silver/gray color. Im working on sanding them down first and redoing it so that its smoother.

I think I got some exhaust manifold paint that is cast iron grey in color from NAPA...it matched the color almost exactly and was good up to higher temperatures.

high heat duplicolor, sanded smooth and put on a bunch of light coats plus some high heat clearcoat from duplicolor. Made them look powdercoated!
