um pepboys sells high heat paints in a variety of colors...i did teh valve cover on my S10 red to match teh white truck with red interior and idid the other green....cuz it was green truck...and i never had them chip or crack or peel or flake


can get it for $7 a can....and they r big cans with the fan tip for a GOOD paint job....well worth it..look into it bro

A) Monte Carlos, at least 6th gens have 12" brakes so I doubt those would fit.

B) If you put those on your car I would be ashamed for you.

C) If you want a good caliper paint, here's the best I've ever used/seen. I don't know if it's the right blue for your request but here ya go http://cgi.ebay.com/BLUE-G2-BRAKE-CA...item53e1b917d9

I have my calipers painted blue that I got from pep-boys. It doesn't really match well with the laser blue but like you i couldn't get that color. I'll post new pics to let you know how it looks. It needs a re-touch now tough.
