OK, so I did something that's probably stupid. I grabbed my can of high performance rustoleum primer and primed my brake calipers. Today I stop by lowes to grab a can of high performance rustoleum paint in red, for the top coat. As I'm looking for it a realize high performance isn't high heat. Am I screwed?

Depends on how hot your calipers will get. I put an oil based red paint on the calipers of one of my RX-7 and the paint did not peel off, despite my aggressive use of the brakes on some long down grades in the mountains of western NC. If you race your car, you may cook some of the paint so it discolors.
If I have to use a rattle can, it's Rustolium, even though the can has a temp reading on it, the paint holds up great.
There is one draw back to using Rustolium paint on things that will be in the sun. The ultra violet rays cause it to oxidize in sunlight. Great for anything under the hood.
