just done mine too with "odds and ends" plasticote enamel paint from B&Q cost me £2.99, 1 pot did all 4.

Used it on other cars and the finish is really good and they don't peel from heat.

How about Hammerite smooth red paint? I've never used it or anything else on my calipers but always hear it's brilliant. Preparation is key, make sure u clean all the grime and sand down your calipers for a great finish rather than a 'looks better' finish. Wire brush helps too.  :happy2:
