Given that the casting of callipers is rough at the best of times I always found that calliper paint that you get in a spray can its more than ample for the job. Heat resistant and plenty of colours and finishes available too.

I use this stuff - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270907974425 I use it for engines too as it comes in a nice range of colours.

Problably would be depending how heavy you are on the brakes, can't see chipping been much of a problem because the caliper is shielded by the wheel. The problem you have is the heat generated by the brakes. Heat paint would be the best option. Try the 2 pack you can always strip off if no good, any things worth a try.

Hammerite will do the job on Callipers and will last long. Use it for ages.
