Can brake caliper/drum paint be used to do this or does it have to be another special type of paint? Cheers

I should imagine any heat resistant paint would suffice

They don't get very hot though so any car paint will be fine.

I would expect for durability and longevity that heat resistant paint would be more suited inside an engine bay
