    Hi temp paint should work. I'm not sure I would cover them as these puppies can get HOT I wouldn't do anything that impedes airflow. One reason rear pads often wear quicker is because the rear caliper doesn't get the cooling air that the front calipers do.

    I would prefer proper brake caliper paint myself, however years ago Can Am did offer in the accessory catalog some kind of caliper cover to add some color to the calipers.

    I left them on and masked everything. I used G2 USA Brake Caliper Paint System.
