Default High temp chrome paint?

I am looking for some high temp chrome paint to eventually do my calipers but to also do my coil packs. Anybody know where I can find some or if somebody even makes it? So far I havent found any for calipers.

Post up pictures of your engine bays with painted coil packs

Search 'polish calipers' or something similar & you'll find that may be the best route for them.

Duplicolor makes a high temp silver that I used for everything underhood. Works pretty well and is very reflective unless you clear it.

Intake is that silver with no clear coat. The hood struts are painted with it too.
