well i went to my local autozone they did not have the duplicolor they only had rustolium high temp clear so i got that they have the same 500f temp raiting. i did my brakes today and i also found the paint to be very thin and in some places i went through to the metal on the calipers very easaly so by my second caliper i found that the best thing to do was to chip the clear away rather than try and sand it off i used the flathead part of my oem tire tool and it worked great. then i sanded the orange/pinl part till i got red then shot the clear on. i did kinda a crapy job sanding but it still looks 100x better the clear i got ended up turning a milky color with a few coats so i had to only shoot 1.5 to 2 coats of clear on which i hope will be enough to last. i will def not be able to do this agen due to the fact that the paint is already so thin so if it peals agen and turns pink it will need to be compleatly repainted
