Use Caliper paint. Spray paint won't hold up the the heat

caliper paint for sure, regular spray paint will work for about a week if that (just guessing).

on the subject of the caliper paint, i bought the dupli-color caliper paint but heard that it doesn't last very long and that I should get G2 paint. can someone chime in about the dupli color? is it really that bad? i feel i should return it and get the G2 which costs double, but is worth it if it makes a big difference.

id do the g2 paint. duplicolor makes highheat paint but in this kind of application id get the stuff made for the. wont need to redo them in a year (or a week) and itll look good. id imagine you could powder coat them to whatever color you wanted if the store didnt have caliper paint in the color you wanted.

Painted mine red...came out really nice, too. Then added a single, thin red pinstripe to the bottom of the body -- just to bring the whole red accent on black frame together...
