Need HIGH TEMPERATURE Engine and Brake Caliper Paint

I am looking for a high temperature paint to use in the engine compartment and on the brake calipers of a 2000 Nissan Maxima show vehicle. But, I am looking for certain shades of purple. Someone online told me to visit a Dupont Paint store and they would be able to mix whatever color I wanted. But, in "high temperature" as well?

Patrick,

If you have not already sorted this problem out suggest you try Plasti-kote Hot Paint which is a spray can product good up to 1500 degrees C

In response to the purple engine paint- I am looking for the same to do my Honda. Where can I get this Plasti-kote Hot Paint? None of the high heat paints come in the purple.

VHT specializes in high temperature paint [linked by editor to product info at Amazon]. We have a specific aerosol formula for brake calipers, as well as engine blocks, cast iron manifolds, headers and turbos. You can find our products at most high performance shops or mail order

But just to be clear . . .

Despite the ads and responses, nobody has answered the question on the table, of where to get purple paint -- have they? :-)
