Smoothrite would do the job or any Single Pack Exterior metal coating, I’m sure you’d get something from Halfords

eBay calliper paint £7-12 depending on colour and size.

I have used Plastikote chrome on the discs and calipers, it survives the heat.

Ive used BCS Automotive kits a couple of times and would use them again

I simply used Black engine block paint for mine when I replaced them. For some reason Silver ///M Calipers are cheaper than the Black ones.

I used a foliatec brush on paint kit as I wanted blue paint and couldnt find a nice shade in Halfords. Would reccomend
