Just a quick question to do this could I use the high temp engine paint I already have ?
Or will I have to purchase a specific brake caliper paint if that exists?
Thanks

Standard rattle cans will do the job. Dont trust the legands about high temp paint.
Just give em a good clean, with the usual grades of grit paper (150/400/800) then paint.
