anyone use Hammerite on brake calipers or hub?

Has anyone tried Hammerite paint on their calipers or rotor hubs? It's a good all around paint with glass/ceramic particles. Can be painted directly on rust (converts rust so it won't spread) and has a nice hammered finish. I think it would be fine on the calipers, but I'm not sure if the rotor hub will get too hot for it. Has anyone tried it for either the calipers or the hub of the rotor?

Thanks,
Tbone

Audi TT

I found a guy on line who painted the calipers on his TT with hammerite a year ago and it is doing fine. I think the rotor hub would be a different story. I think hammerite is rated to 250F, and I'm pretty sure that rotor hub will get a lot hotter than that.
