I've seen them at Pep Boys, Wal-Mart, etc.
Around $20.
(BTW- got your order Mike! Thanks! )

You should be able to "squeeze it out for both drums." However, many people are using regular paint on calipers with good results. Why not just pick a color that suits you and give it a try? More cost effective for sure...
BTW - nice new avatar pic!
I'd like to see your "Victory Circle" pic there instead!

I was hoping to color match all to the Victory Red. Any suggestions on how to do this and still deal with the heat?

Man, that looks sweet!!! I wanna go next year!
OK, here's the caliper paint kit I've seen:
It's by Dupli-Color and runs $20 per kit.
If you want to try to match Vic Red, it's going to be your best bet.
BONUS: like most of your better caliper painting kits, it comes with caliper cleaner to apply before painting for the best adhesion.
Hope it helps,

News Flash caliper paint is nothing more that Hi Temp engine paint. I used gun metal grey on my calipers and drums and they have held up great for over 15,000 miles with many power washing sessions. I prepped them with laquer thinner. Color just depends on what you are trying to do. Grey or black helps hide that fact that they are fugly and not worth looking at.
