Post Gold or Copper Rust Paint
Anyone have a source for gold or copper brush on rust paint? Turns out it's pretty difficult to find.....if it even exists? :S

That dude Russell Oliver appearing on TV used silver paint in his commercial recently - maybe he has copper and gold paint as well - OHHH YEAAAAHHH!

Wonder if I could mix something with silver paint to get gold or copper?

Will it take the heat? VHT makes gold caliper paint in aerosol, better than brushing onto calipers, easy to do on the car.

I've always painted calipers with regular rust paint....usually tremclad, but since tremclad doesn't make gold/copper/bronze I got rustoleum at home depot (I think rustoleum makes tremclad anyway?). Never had any issues with it coming off....in fact, my I used tremclad on my Sonoma calipers 5 years ago and 100,000km's later they still look great!

I just got the Benz on the road on Saturday, drove it all weekend and it work this morning and the paint looks fine.

However, I've seen calipers on track cars and such get so hot that they turn blue...that would likely fry this paint right off....but normal driving will be fine.

And I did paint these on the car...but with a brush. Spraying calipers on the car usually does just make a mess, gets on the pins, pads, etc...With a brush you can neatly keep it on the body of the caliper only.
