Brake Rotors Caps - Paint Type?

Any recommendations on the brand of paint to use to touch up the brake rotor caps? I have Baer Eradispeeds and need to touch up the hats and need to match up their silver color and would like a durable automotive paint that will provide a long lasting smooth finish and can take the abuse.

Thanks!

I've had good luck with VHT's caliper paint.

I don't care much for the brake caliber paint.. Its too sticky and thick.. I like the engine enamel easier to touch up and a lot easier to work with

I found spray cans of VHT caliper paint at the parts store in 500 deg. F and 1000 deg. F versions. Used the latter to paint my MINI Cooper rotor hats and turned out great - applies just like regular rattle-can paint.
