I think I used high temp engine spray paint. It's what I had laying around at the time I did my brakes. Works good.

You can use the same paint for both the calipers and drums.

This is how i do all my cars/trucks;

1) Remove wheels-obviously
2) Wire brush/sand any dirt/rust off of the calipers/drums
3) Spray them with brakeclean
4) mask up all the areas you dont want painted-(rotors, wheel wells, fenders, etc)
5) Apply 4-5 nice coats of the caliper paint
6) wait untill they dry and then remove all the tape
7) Stand back and admire the work you just did (optional hahah)
8) Re-apply and torque wheels
