This paint works well.

Its a 2 part epoxy mix and cures chemically. Its rather thick so it fills and smooths the pitted finish of castings. It can cure a bit fast so you have to be prepared and work quickly. As it cures it thickens and stops wanting to spread smoothly. I would use a brass brush and brake parts cleaner on the calipers. Spray the shit out of them… like a rinse. I would then wire brush them (steel brush) and rinse again.

This paint will hold up well and look good if you get good coverage. It has a rubbery quality once cured so it does not chip like normal paint.
