I like the way the color looks but I dont think it has enough shine to it.. is there a high temp clear coat out there?

I bought my duplicolor blue kit at checkers.. (which is an O'reily's, or Murrays depends on which part of the country you are in.) I just have to actually paint my calipers now...

Look harder.
Red would look great IMO.all this talk has gotten me motivater, but i dont know what color, if any would work on my calipers...

ideas?
would red be too...cliche and out of place?
I would probably save up for another set of wheels first though. =/ I hate the stock wheels on the (V6's?).

I never said expand your search....I said look harder. You obviously don't want it that bad because
1) they probably have it at at least one of the stores you have been to and just over looked it
2) you could just walk up to one of the employees who work there and have them order one for you (if they have it in red they can order in blue).

:dunno
No clue bro. Both Advance Auto and Oreillys (I believe thats where I saw it) have it down here, and both had the ability to order more. EDIT: This was like 8 months ago so maybe thins changed?
I still don't think you should have to pay $50+ for it.... Maybe Homedepot can mix a blue for you that has some sort of brake dust repellent? Lol, Idk just throwing ideas out there. I'm pretty sure they only deal with like home paint.
