Duplicolor do paint kits specifically for Brakes, not sure if they do a white though.

Other than that, any hi temp paint should work.....dunno how long for though, and the white could have a tendency to go yellow after a while

Pfff, those $3 cans from Repco will be sweet as.

And I was meaning brake dust, though you'll get that with anything

Ive used tins of paint on hammerite many times. Averaged 3ish years before it started to look like it needed re-doing.
Prep is pretty important though to make sure it keys in fine in the first place.

Ending up with spare parts in assembling things since 1983
