Summary for high temperature paint Discussion
high temperature paint for engine and brake calipers is the thread’s focus, and the question was whether a DuPont paint store could mix a custom purple shade that would also withstand heat in an engine compartment and on brake calipers of a 2000 Nissan Maxima show vehicle. The replies do not confirm that a custom-mixed automotive paint would be suitable for high-heat use. Instead, the thread points to purpose-made high-temperature products: one response mentions a specific aerosol formula for brake calipers and engine blocks, and Keith Watkins recommends brake caliper paint in purple. The practical takeaway is that the discussion favors using a dedicated high-temp caliper/engine paint rather than assuming any custom color mix will handle the heat.
Q. 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?

A. 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 °C

Q. 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.

Suitable Blue Paint for High Temperature 450°C
Q. We make valves that need to resist surface temperatures of 450 °C in insulated covers and we prefer to have the paint color which is attractive — like Blue for example
It should also have high degree of corrosion resistance up to 450 °C and also heat resistance.
