Big fan of the chrome bolts/covers at Ace and/or True Value but only used them on windshield screws, seat, accessories. I have no idea what grade bolt they are. If using on a brake caliper I would want to confirm they meet or exceed strength grade required.

gardner-westcott will have everything you need. high quality chrome, and steel for their bolts. sell complete kits, suggest a builders kit, will have more than you will need, so you can use them in other places as well

I have changed probrably 95% of the bolts on my bike to SS as alot of you have already done. Living on the East coast you don't want the rest to take hold.

My tech recommended ss in the future for the same reason. I believe they can be polished to look like chrome. The insides (allen/torx) of several of my ss bolts are rusting.
