Painting brake calipers

I want to paint my brake calipers.
Q1) What are the good paints that should be used? I live in Canada, so does anyone know of any good canadian place to buy these paints?

Q2) How much do they cost?

Q3) And how long does the glossy finish last?

try getting G2 Paint kit or Foliatec Paint Kits.. you can easily purchase them on EBAY, SWA, or other G2/Foliatec retail online-stores.

i bought one but sold it to limsandy, and to tell you the truth, everyone I know who used G2 has no problems with fading and discolouration. Its pretty strong as to fading. With G2 you will be able to double coat the calipers with the paints provided. You shouldnt worry about fading and discolouration anytime soon. hope this helps
