I tried painting calipers with high-temp engine spray paint, but the finish looked dull within a year. I just bought a Viggen that has painted calipers that look good, still glossy, having been painted 10 years ago!
The caliper paint kits are good idea, I think. They utilize a catalyst, so they're kind of an epoxy finish. It's a brush-on paint, and you don't see any brush marks afterwards. They don't use a primer. Cleaning is done with brake cleaner spray, the non-chlorinated kind. I used a toothbrush and the spray, and it worked well. Don't let it get in the holes for the brake line or the bleeder valve.
