Halfords do their own caliper paint in various colours. Single tin so no mixing like the Foliatec stuff 
Think it's about £5'ish
Just make sure you clean the calipers up properly with brake cleaning solvent first

Hammerite is fine on the calipers but be wary if you paint the hub part of the disc (obviously not the braking surface 
). I painted the hub bit and the Hammerite melted and flicked about when I had the car on a track. Now my brakes smell of burning Hammerite whenever they get hot.

You don't neccesary need caliper paint, engine paint is just as good if not better, as its designed for use on high temperatures.......obviously.
Halfrauds sell some cheap engine paint that is good, painted mine 2 years ago and havent had to touch up at all.
