In the end I found products at Canadian Tire which should do what I need. They are high temp caliper paint and high temp clear coat from a company called VHT. The label claims 900F heat resistance.
Being Canada and all I would not be surprised if this wasn't some other product (like Dupli-color) just relabeled for our market. I'm spending a lot of time on prep - so I expect decent results.
Question: Should I prime first? I'm scotchbriting the entire caliper (they are off the car) and I have a good keyed surface. Is there a downside to primer?
As for the caliper covers.......dude....

As for priming, it isn't needed if you are just scuffing the existing paint. If you are taking off all the paint, then yes you should prime.

FWIW, here are the products I've used:
>Wurth/saBesto GL Clear Laquer Spray paint (Art# 0893 351 930)
>Dupli-Color Caliper Cleaner; and
>Wurth/saBesto Silver Wheel Paint (Art# 1892181)...matches factory color perfectly, great for touching up scatches, marks, etc.
