Nickel-Graphite anti-sieze works good... no worries. I've got a huge can from prolly 18 years ago that I still use

you dont really wana get spray get the stuff thats in like a grey bottle and it brushes on. i think napa would have it usually the napa store where i live is ran by older guys instead of kids in highschool thats why i trust buying more stuff there but i mean i never really had to buy the stuff since i always got it for free at work when i do tractor trailer work. but just apply a coat to the slider bolts for the caliper and just make sure you bleed your brakes the correct way.

Fel-Pro N5000 is what I have had for years...

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
N-5000 is a nickel-based anti-seize lubricant,
produced under 100% controlled conditions for highest purity.
It is formulated to have the lowest practical levels of halogens,
sulfur and heavy metals, including copper. N-5000 has a
general composition of nickel and graphite flake in petroleum
carrier. All ingredients are selected for extreme purity.
Special Features:
· High purity - made from highest purity ingredients
· Trace amount of copper - less than 50 ppm copper
· Typically used in applications with a dry surface
temperature of -29 to +1315ºC (-20 to +2400ºF)


Not saying you HAVE to use it... just that I do.. As dragon says, there are brake caliper lubes..
