Default painting calipers tmr.. should i use spray paint or liquid paint?

Im going to paint my calipers tomorrow, but I dont know if I should use spray or normal paint. I have a caliper paint kit that has liquid paint, along with brake cleaner, brush, etc. But today I got a can of VHT caliper spray paint, cause it was cheap.

So which one is better? I want to get as smooth a look as possible. I'm guessing the spray will give me that. But im guessing the colour wont be as rich as the liquid paint. So whatd you guys think?

Also, is there anything else i need to do to prep the calipers? I got 400 grit sandpaper and brake cleaner... anything else i need?

One more thing, with the brake cleaner, what can and cant i spray with it?

Thanks a lot!

The spray would take more coats to be as strong as the laquer. Use the liquid
