I eventually used a Halfords caliper silver paint. It was a little too silver so sprayed it into a container and added in some gloss black until I got a good match when mixed. Then used a quality touch up brush to paint the areas where I had removed the corrosion. Don't know about longivity though because I sold the bike the weekend after. Used the same paint to respray the bottom yoke and fork lowers after media blasting and epoxy primering them. Looked mint and will last for years.
