B&Q sell Japlac paint which is good for high temperatures. Cant remember the exact figures but works great on break calipers with no flaking or cracks after months of use.

B&Q also for hammerite, (im sure they do a gold ..) - always worked fine for VHT jobs. Raymotors too sell it & are closer to you!

DMS BUT UNSURE ABOUT GOLD

Gold is an odd colour, as the only thing that makes gold is gold.
You could try the motorbike shops as they sell VHT paints.
Why Gold?

I'm with Pugguy on this one, on my previous car I used Hammerite Gold (brush on) paint on my calipers - worked a treat. Just wire brushed the old paint and made sure any scale/corrosin was removed, wiped clean with thinners, waited till dry and applied a good thick coat and allowed a good amount of time to dry and cure.
