Colour of calipers

Just painted mine red but its a silver car. However, red would look good on a black car. The paint came from Halfords and very pleased with the result but after a few decent runs is looking a bit dusty.
 
I'm starting to think about doing mine - shortlist was red (but emphasises the smallness of the callipers), so now on a shorter list of silver or black. Will probably go for black and do the Zed and the Discovery from one pot of paint.

What paint should I be looking at - Hammerite?
 
I rebuilt a set of 330I calipers, stripped them to bare metal, etch primed and sprayed them with silver grey smoothrite, just remember it's not brake fluid proof!
 
Clean wipe and use vht lacquer from halfords
Works a treat and I went with black as calipers are small n really not worth the attention
