alternator fan Paint

I'm going to be doing alot of general maintenance on my 85 carrera and part of the plan is to clean up the engine and the bay.
My alternator fan is tired looking and I wanted to strip it and paint it the original color which is that shade of gold. I've looked around a bit but have not been able to find what kind of paint to use. Anyone know what and where to get it?
Also I will be rebuilding my calipers and want to paint them as well and I was wondering if I could get some tips on how to clean and prep them prior to painting and what brand/kind of paint is recommended.
Finally, is it mandatory to change the brake pad sensors when pads are changed or can the old ones be re-used?

Thanks

Gost

You can ceramic coat the calipers or powder coat them. That is the best method in my opinion. The fans usually hold up best from powdercoating. I have done all of them
