I'm not sure if this is the same place you're mentioning, but I got mine from Serious auto's:

I,ve used this stuff and it turns out really well, but a piece of advise. Take the whole caliper off to paint it otherwise you will get drip marks on it and it will look funky up close.

i did mine on the car (didnt remove the caliper) and had no drip marks...
maybe safer to remove, but i think you can do it on the car if you are careful. just have to apply several light coats rather than any heavy ones.

Here's a link to the GB I started.
Take your time when you do this. It's very easy. Plan on a few hours.

A few more tips.
Remove all 4 wheels and do all 4 calipers at the same time.
Mask all of them before you mix the paint.
Then start painting. By the time you finish painting the
last caliper, it will be time to put the second coat on the first.
