Have them powder coated. Don't paint. But if you must, pep boys have them. There all the same, high heat.

Painting with the brush method is a good way to go, Less messy, minimal masking and no need to remove the caliper from the wheel carrier. You just have to clean ALL brake dust from the caliper, clean enough to eat off it so that you dont have brake dust fusing into the paint which will look like crap. Also dont paint anything in tempuratures below 70 degrees outside. Any colder and it will come out awful.

the caliber of rust oleum is pretty good against oxidation.
