Hammerite Smooth seems to be the popular choice.

Very easy to do, just make sure the caliper is all very clean before you start

I painted my callipers whilst sill on the car, just removed the wheels and used a brush and they turned out ok. Used Hamerite smooth yellow.

Just paint them its easy as pie, it took me about 30 mins to paint all four an that was taking the wheels off aswell as all the cleaning.

just make sure you keep it on the caliper, give it a nice scrub before and your set
