Testors as brake caliper paint
Well, I got good news and bad news
The good news is that I like using the Testors spray model paint because there are so many different colors available. I painted my calipers a while back with it and so far it has held up to many track days, brake cleaner, wheel cleaner etc. Loved it; no problem.
Now the bad news. I had been using the "Albany" brand brake cleaner in the white can from AutoZone. I've used several cans of this stuff and it never harmed the paint; always cleaned up perfectly. I finally used up all the cans of Albany cleaner I had and bought some new stuff that was on sale. It is the "Primius" brand in a black can also from AutoZone. This stuff dissolves the paint nearly instantly and it drips off onto the ground
Oops.
So I guess I will be using the Primius brand to quickly and easily clean all my Testors model paint off and then have to use some real caliper paint

I had the opposite effect I painted my presilencer with header paint and went to clean a grease print off of it with the albany brake clean and ended cleaning everything off and had to respray it.
