Painting Brake Calipers and Disc Hubs which look unsightly

Hi, anybody got any experience of painting their brake calipers and brake disc's lower hub sections and what high temperature paints work? My RRS V8 is only 1.5 years old and both look unsightly !!

Thanks
Steve

I took my front brembo callipers off and had them painted gloss black by local paint shop, bought the new brembo decals off e bay, the hubs and rear callipers I painted with hammerite smooth gloss black.

just finished painting the calipers on the Porsche used a 2 pak brilliant red left to harden applied decals then high temperature laquer ov the top. as for the disks Upol grey primer is the same colour as they are painted in the factory then cover with high temp laquer to stop fading. Job done here is a link to an underside restoration I completed last year.
