What's a good paint use? Also should they be removed first and primed?

I re-did my calipers on my supra with engine paint because that was the only high temp type I could find in the color I wanted. It held up perfectly fine and was very simple. I took the caliper off the car cleaned it with degreaser and did about 4 coats.

Is that the same 'orange' tone that's used for the new stock Japanese market ISFs?

I don't know if it's the perfect match, but they look verry similar !

It's a high temp paint from VHT. The color is flat orange and I finished it with high temp clear
