Thanks guys for some good advise.

I tried the high temp RED caliper paint on the face of my rotors to see if it was going to withstand the track days and it was black after one weekend.

The HPC coating is the best but the cast finish on the centers isn't that great and I would only go the HPC silver which would highlight the imperfections of the casting. (Vintage wheels casting is beautiful) Also I guess its exxy as Mike would know the cost here.

So I guess its a 2 pack in a colour choice which sounds good as I always wanted the centers as per my stripes. I would like to paint myself but not a painters butt crack so does this mean no clear if you use 2 pack? Does it need to be done in an oven?
