I used hammerite smoothe on an old motorcycle crank case many years ago.
held up well in all sorts of weather.
Don,t know about using it on calipers tho.
Perhaps Frosts or someone like that does a useful paint.
I,ll have to get one of thier brochures.

hammerite will be fine, but obviously not the most professional finish.

My R32 front set up is powder coated and no issues yet, been on a few 1/4 mile days with them.
I didn't like the barke calliper paint finish so went with p/coating.

I thought powdercoat can take upto 200 or so degrees (celsius)  :undecided:
