I'd recommend using Foliatec brake caliper paint, it's a 2 part paint which you mix a hardener into. It brushes on very easily and gives a very hard wearing, gloss finish (it doesn't react to brake fluid like other paints can). One can is more than enough to do a full set of the larger calipers. One tip if you do use it, don't mix the entire tin at once as you only have half an hour or so to apply the paint before it starts to set.

Does that stuff clean up well? Hammerite is fine but it does get stone chipped imo.

 

It's a lot harder wearing than Hammerite, it brushes on easier and gives a better finish. Powder coating would give the hardest wearing finish but it's more expensive
