Caliper painting?

86 325 E

I'm thinking about painting my calipers when I do a brake job. Can I use heat paint like what is used on a motor, or do I have to buy the expensieve caliper painting kit at Pep Boys?

I've used engine paint. If you race it you might want a higher temp paint, but the engine paint has held up on my vette for over a year now.
