Hey amazing video like usual. I have a question. I finally got the front n rear calipers n im getting ready to paint them. My question is about the type of paint you used in the video. You used a "engine spray paint" which can withstand alot of heat so that makes sense but the blue isn't a high temp paint it's only a color match would it for the body of the car n isn't designe for high heat the the "engine paint ". So my question is can I use any paint I can find in a store like autozone, advanced auto parts or pepboys. Thanks a million n absolutely love your content bro.
