It is rated for 500 degrees, and as I say previously I have used normal auto paint on them before with no problems. Calipers arn't going to get any hotter than a GT-4 bonnet does above the turbo, and that paint is fine
 Apologies for dirty car

I'm planning on trying it this week X-metals has a base paint, it's mainly for painting non metallic things, because the color coats are somewhat transparent. But, if you want that anodized look use the base coat too. thats the base
