Some ppl use the brush on kit, i think it was foltec or something like that. But what i did was when i installed my SS brake lines, i just took them off and cleaned them and spray paint them with an high temp 1200 Aluminum color paint.

This is what i did before, i used those foam make-up triangle pads, that my mom had. I dipped it into spray paint and touched it up on the rotor, this way is a faster and eaiser way, but you only paint what is exposed.

Both ways works very well imo.

check out my painted rear caliper

I used Rustoleum High Temp Paint. I painted mine silver and they still look good. I put about 4 coats.
