Well sure if you have access to that sort of thing, why not use it? I would. 
But for a decent result, using an engine paint will last a little longer than 
most spraypaint. I havent had any paint chip or flake off my calipers so it 
must be ok. 

So, Brad, are you comming to the autox in the morning? Or, are ya <bock-bock> 
Chicken?? I gots me a can of whup-ass with your name in big letters on it!  :-P
