If I may make a suggestion...
Recommending only 500 degree paint may be insufficient. I was talking to a BBK manufacturer the other day (your thread and his coincidental stop in at the shop prompted me to speak with him about this) and he said he sees track cars reach over 1000 degree heat at the caliper. I hope the paint lasts (I REALLY do) but maybe something higher temp would be better.
