Duplicolor also makes caliper paint in a spray can.

I did mine on both my MGB and my DSM years ago. I used the Spray on on the DSM.
Came out nice, (better than the brush on stuff) and lasted at least the couple of years I kept the car while enduring heavy enough use to require EBC yellow stuff pads :)

When I did my Tahoe's brakes, however, I noticed that the OEM paint was still intact so there was no reason to paint.

I did mine in flat black. i thought with a white truck it would have stood out to much. I did my disks as well. Went to Canadian Tire and bought one of those wire wheels you can put in your drill and unloaded all the rust in seconds so it had some nice fresh bare metal to stick to and did them in silver to mimic a stainless steel disk and it looks sweet. I just bought some high heat paint and its lasted for a few months now with no degradation at all.
Looks good man.
