Default What paint to use on caliper carriers?

I got the A8 brake upgrade kit from PureMS (yay!) and I'm going to paint the carriers before I install them (after masking off the machined mating surfaces, of course)

Soooo, do I need to use true 'caliper paint' on the carriers? Or woulld regular high-temp engine paint be sufficient?

Thanks

Default Foliatek Caliper Paint

Just make sure to use a high temp clear coat after words, I wish did, Because the pant kinda fades and rubs of when cleaned after a while.
