I have never really picked out a caliper or brake specific kit/paint.
Im sure there are better ones, and the duplicolor one has ceramic in it.
I was really going to try the duplicolor (i think) kit but they wanted too much IMO for a simple paint. That and the blue didnt really match what i wanted to do.
as long as you clean the surface, almost all exterior paints will do well.
on my v8 s10 i rattlecanned the calipers yellow to match my black and yellow engine theme and i did those with regular engine block paint. The paint outlasted the caliper (over 6 years) as i had to replace two of them and the paint would still clean up and look like new.
That is why i had no second thoughts about using engine block rattle can on the screw.
