Many people here have used the G2 epoxy-based paint. Prep is pretty easy, and it is quite durable.

If you have the time and funds ... I would highly suggest powdercoating. The outcome is super durable and great looking.

I have used VHT and DupliColor with good results.

I painted mine red using rustoleum sunrise red. I applied with a foam brush. Still looking good after 14 years.

Dupilcolor or G2 is a good choice. Just prep your calipers really well so that paint will last for several years.
