What you guys does usually use to paint the hub and calipers?

I usually use sone heat resistant engine enamel but this time I went to Bhagwansingh and used a heat resistant spray paint that they usually use to paint BBQ grills. It worked really good but the only colour is black though....

What brand and type do you guys use generally????????

I used Trinity Paint CHinese Lacquer.
Held up really well for a few years, but loses its gloss after time though
