Brake Caliper painting

Having removed and cleaned up my rear caliper I am a little stuck with what paint to use and what preperation is best.

Up to now they have been keyed up and all the bare metal surfaces polished and I will be looking at doing the fronts also.

I know Halfords do a caliper paint but I have heard bad things somim on the hunt for a recommendation.
Any ideas?

I used this stuff, works a treat when prep is done properly ;)

Pretty much.

It's best to bake it properly in an oven though, does it properly instead of relying on heat from braking :peace:
