I am sure it is better but, how much better for a item of the car that never get's touched. They make Caliper paint that holds the heat. Just not sure how much better it would be compared to the additional expense and effort.
Don't get me wrong, doing it the right way, powder coat, is always perferred... I am just sayin... Ya know?

They're aluminum so you can polish'm! One of the SoCal guys did it and it looks sweet! He just sanded the castings and burs down and polished'm up....they shine!!
