I don't know if it's called caliper paint but you can use high temp engine paint too. It'll work the same as long as it's high temp. Make sure you clean them real good before painting. Maybe give them some media blasting if they're bad.

I used Rustoleum on my Mustang calipers and it has held up nicely.

Duplicolor has kits specifically for brake caliper. Available in blue, red, black, yellow and silver.
Used their silver on my alt/ac bracket and pwr steering bracket. My old M1/2BBL was silver with black detail, calipers in red, spindles I used the blue. My new M1/4BBL is coated with specialty heat releasing coating but detailed with silver/blue. Water pump used silver. Timing cover used their black and detailed with silver.

Not that difficult to do. Must get it spotless though for the paint to stick well. More coats you give it, the smoother the surface will be.

I know O'riellys have it. I'd think Autozone would too.
