Default Painting Brake Calipers Hugger Orange

Does anyone have a suggestion on the type of paint to use to paint my calipers Hugger Orange? Can I use the engine enamel spray paint?

Any input is welcome. Thanks.

I used Duplicolor Chevy Orange paint and clear coat. What color is your car? If it't not hugger orange or black, then dont paint the calipers hugger orange, it will look stupid.

MY car's NBM. I've been considering a color scheme of NBM and HO. I plan on repainting the Berger pnl and calipers HO. I have some accents underhood with HO already and it looks good. I think the combo will go well.

Here's a couple of pics under the hood. What do y'all think?

Excuse me for piggybacking this thread, but I have a pewter TA and was wondering what color would look good on my calipers. I saw a pewter TA yesterday with blue calipers, but I was thinking purple.
