i did my calipers not long ago, with caliper paint from halfords, meant to last better in the high temperatures that brakes get too

its abit lighter than R32 but depends how close of a match you want, plus it is relatively cheap

You can always add dye to that to get the exact colour match

high temperature paint needed or it will bubble and peel

as above, halfords or any motor store will be able to help
