Default Couple of brake questions?

I finally decided to upgrade the brakes just a little bit on my 90 lx, I ordered some slotted rotors and ceramic pads, I am just wondering where I can purchase the caliper bushings that are made out of aluminum, I am going to use the stock calipers just can't find the replacement bushings.

And one more, I am going to paint my calipers flat black before I put on my new 17" cobra r's, what type of paint have you guys used and how has it held up.

thank you everyone.

any local parts store should have them in a hardware or caliper rebuild kit, I bought some from the A-zone before

Im sorry guess I forgot to be specific, I meant the ones that are aluminum or steel that people are always talking about, because they give eliminate the flex that the stock rubber ones produce. sorry

The rubber helps eliminate vibration, switching to steel will not improve anything.
