It's specifically made for that in that it's a hi-temp paint BJ. My guess is that the folks at Duplicolor've been doin' this long enough where they wpuldn't be sellin' it for calipers if it wasn't capable of puttin' up with the heat incurred while the caliper's doin' what it supposed to do.
I'd thought about it myself, but, as the calipers do get heated up, the release of that heat is important. A coating of paint will only impede that heat release. (Okay, okay . . so I jus' don't wanna. After all, Ferrari paint's theirs, don't they?)
Be well.
