I used a good quality brake paint out of a spray can from a Automotive shop ( not a cheap imported product). There is about 8 coats of paint on each caliper then 2 coats of clear. The paint is rated to 900C.

The trick is to completely remove all grease & grim, then a light sand and a clean down with thinners. It;s best done by removing the caliper & brackets completely off the car. Took me 2 days.
