I used halfords engine paint, its 4times cheaper then there caliper paint, u get 10-20 times more and it is 3times more heat resistant.

Black is best and it also dissipates heat the best too. I used hamerite (smooth black) and it never came off.

My new car doesn't have drums, but even so, the inner part of the disc (hub) that you can see, would benefit from some paint, but I will wait till a nice warm sunny day.
