Forgot you did that, it looks really slick. I think I might try the same thing whenever I decide to tear them down for cleaning. I don't remember, did you use high temp paint?

That doesn't burn away?  I've always used VHT caliper paint which resists up to 900F and is chemical resistant.  Brake fluid is evil stuff.

heat never was an issue.
but when brake fluid sat on them for awhile i had to repaint.
mind you i wasn't painting the whole caliper. just the lettering.
i suppose if one were to paint the whole caliper ala the Indy SBK-engined 696 then proper caliper paint would be needed
