The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Painting Model A/AA Hubs and Backing Plates

Great to see the question regarding painting the brakes on the same day that I intent to do the job. I was planning on using the black caliper spray paint. Would that be OK or should I use something else?

Also, I'll be reassembling both the rear brakes after painting them. So I need some more guidance.
1. What's the proper grease to use for lubricating the Model A - Synthetic or non-synthetic?
2. Do I need a special grease for packing the wheel bearing?
3. Since I am just starting with my first lubrication job on this car, what grease gun is the most appropriate to buy?

Thanks in advance.
