I had a local shop mix up some "SteppenGrasse" with a reducer, so I could spray it.
I've used the paint under the hood also.

Yes.
Car is Misano red. I used a bright red color, and the match is close enough you really can't tell.
I cleaned the calipers thoroughly and applied a light coat,waited unitl it was dry - then a heavier coat.
Braking temps nor winter salt have affected the finish, and it was just standard spray paint - nothing special.
