      Heat dissipating caliper paint ?

      Are there any durable caliper paints or coatings that either don't trap heat or actually help dissipate heat ?

      I see this product -

      http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html
      "The Caliper Paint features Ceramic Resins for maximum heat dissipation."

      Anyone try this product and happy with it ?

      Will it hold up to occasional track use if properly prepped and applied ?
      Any other decent, comparable products out there ?

      If this is a real track car, no paint should be used at all. Ever had your rotors glow red?

      But honestly, I doubt it would make any difference at all no matter what paint you use. If you are that serious/worried about heat, you need to run cooling ducts.

      Agreed on all points.

      I look forward to finishing this car so I can have the opportunity to make them glow !

      However, it will be mostly a street car, with occasional track use. Hence, I'm checking if there's a way to have bling and non-impaired function at the same time.

      Eventually, I do anticipate adding brake cooling ducts.
