$5 can of high temp engine paint is sufficient.

Thats what I used 6 months ago, and they still look great.

Screw those $40+ kits.

Advance auto sells a kit for $16.00 Various colors and it's very easy. Well worth the money and did I mention easy. I did mine and they look great. No need to buy aftermarket. I went with red. This kit brings everything you need including brake cleaner. Just spray it on, a few seconds later it dries, and then just paint away with the brush. Yes I said brush. It is much easier, cleaner, and it does a much better job. I spray painted my other cars brakes and it was a pain. You have to tape everything up and paint still gets everywhere. The brush just goes where you put it. Clean up is simple and then just do the next one. The only hint I will give you is do two coats. Let the first one dry (about 5-10 minutes) and just give it a second coat. It will look great.
