Default Best Paint For Calipers?

What's the best paint to use when u paint calipers? I've used High Gloss Engine Enamel before and it turned out all right, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a better one?
They have a kit for it, but I'm not sure how that is... anyone used it before?

You can get away with high heat engine paint.
$4 bucks a can.

G2 Caliper Paint System. There's nothing else like it. When you're done with the steps, the paint leaves this rubbery coat. It'll surive any weather condition and remain a glossy color.

My friend applied some to his RSX a few years ago, it still looks like he just did it.

Here's a stock photo.


When you're painting, it's important to clean your calipers with a BBQ grill brush. You have to knock all the garbage off of it.
