But you don't need high temp paint. The disks get hot, the calipers don't.

Use ur brakes all night, then touch the caliper...! they do get VERY hot mate... Same with the drums..

So, i'll just get a heat proof undercoat and then go to a bodyshop, and put it on with a brush

Whats the difference between using your calipers all day and using them all night?

Anyhow, if you're that worried, I'm sure you can get a pretty decent powder coat colour match for Brocade. Or you could powder coat them and use that as a base for a primer to sit on. Or you could use zinc primer. Don't just slap Hammerite on it because 9 times out of 10 it rusts though and looks crap.
