Just any paint i think that can stand at high temperatures

I use an engine paint about £7

Hammerite works well and will stand the temps and a fair few colours to chose from.
A small tin will last forever too

Hammerite have changed their "recipe" & the new stuff doesn't cope with the heat. E-Tech make some very good engine paint which works well on calipers.

Ah ok, I painted my calipers on my last car but that was about 4 years ago and was quite common back then.
No good now if it can't deal with the heat.

I have heard E-Tech are quite good as well although a little more expensive.
Most will fade a bit over time due to the heat and will need to be redone in time unless you like your red calipers pink

Here was my effort...

Have not been tempted to paint the Leon's calipers yet though.

Motip and foliatec work just as well. Only thing is you need not too low working temperatures (so this is the perfect summer job)

Halfords black enamel engine paint worked for me
