powder or paint

I was reading that it's better to use caliper paint than powder coating because the paint can resist brake fluid better. any opinions?

Thanks
Rip

The powder coat we used on our wheels is holding up just fine after we had both the rear cyl go last fall and drove all weekend with just the front discs. Everything was soaked but we wiped it down and its still like new

The right kind of paint will hold up to brake fluid, it will be epoxy based, however Powdercoating has the same resistance characteristics and will be a tougher finish.
