I have given the Calipers and the Caliper / Pad holders a quick coat of Zinc-Alu spray. You sure could find something similar: https://www.weicon.de/en/products/te...zinc-alu-spray
Cheap, durable, fast drying and it looks like new OEM.

Shark Hide

is also great for protecting metal if you want a nice look. It is very expensive, though.
