Is it worth using a 'proper' caliper paint (Foliatec, Savage, E Tech, etc.) rather than Hammerite?

Is any one product better than the others (ease of application, durability, etc), or are they all much of a muchness?

the best ones are a two part system (epoxy, I believe) I can't recall any makes, but if you go round a couple of car places there will be some to compare, and usually they have a nice shiny caliper with some on.

I use Hammerite without problems it does harden and stay on , couple of coats is better finish. Also used on the fan blades and pulleys. (MGB)
My calipers are usually o'hauled on a regular basis 2 yrs low mileage use car. At the same time repainted.
New calipers are only painted with a light coating of paint to prevent rust.
