The paint is ceramic paint and can be bought in a kit from Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc. It comes in a few different colors. The paint is in a pint can and is brushed on. The kit includes, a brush, paint, spray brake cleaner, and a mixing stick. It sells for about $14.00 here in Florida. I did not remove the calipers to paint. Just cleaned them and brushed the paint on. Being ceramic paint, it flows on easily and drys with no brush marks. I will include a photo of another of my cars that I did the same way and a photo of my Corvette Z06 that has factory powder coated calipers. You really can't tell the difference. I am sure the powder coated calipers will stand up to higher heat, but I have had no problems yet with the three wheeler.
