to be honest, i got those high temp enamel from kragen and they are as good as any others i have seen/used. the key is mostly about prepping the calipers. now matching the blue, that might be a bit challenging

I've painted four sets of calipers on Corvettes. I used plain jane Rustoleum. I just cleaned them up with alcohol and brushed it on. They typically have a rough surface anyway and you don't see them real close, so it's no biggie. It works great. The high heat two part paints are way overkill.

I don't have a close-up handy, but here is one of them....
