Any tips on paint to use? I've bead blasted the calipers and mounts, would like a low sheen black but the paints I've seen are all gloss. Also not too sure how tough rattle can paint will be on these bits.

Maybe a high temp header paint, engine enamal, barbique grill paint. See what colors are available Epoxie type paint will probably be the most durable -
Caswell has brake caliper paint. Look under their VHT products.

I used regular Rustoleum black paint from an aerosol can. It looked great initially, but a little bit of brake fluid caused peeling.Comment

Re: Brake caliper paint?
There are no single part (rattle can) paints that brake fluid will not remove instantly. You need to go to an automotive paint store and get a multi component catalyzed automotive acrylic or urethane lacquer. All of these type paints have a "flattening agent" available so you can adjust the degree of gloss you want. The cheapest paint of this type is the Omni MTV line.
A pint of base color, flattening agent, catalyst and reducer will cost around
$100
