Default Red Brush-On Caliper Paint

Hey Guys & Gals...!

I need some help here in the Orient! I want to paint the brake calipers with Red Brush-On Paint but...I can only find (Online) Brake Caliper Paint Kits...that's a probem because of the "Spray Degreaser" that comes in the Kits, the Kits won't ship to me here in Korea via air. Does anyone know where I can buy "just the Red Brush-On Caliper Paint? Thanks all...!

Default Dupli-Color...

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html

I used the brush-on 2 part epoxy paint.
I don't remember if the the degreaser came with the paint. Website indicates it does.
Maybe drop them an email and see if there are other options...?
HTH.
Good Luck

People must look at you differently with a Vette over there! Or atleast that is what I would think!
