Check a parts store for duplicolor engine paint. I know they make a dark green color, I used it on my 4x4 blazer calipers a few months ago.

From what i've read, engine paint won't hold up on calipers. Any other suggestions?

I think the G2 is more of a lime green. If your afraid of it coming off you might as well powdercoat them..

if you don't mind the cost, you can create the color yourself by buying G2 yellow and blue caliper paints and mixing them. you can add a touch of black engine paint to adjust
the hue.

If you prep the caliper correctly, it will hold up. Engine paint is designed for higher temps then the brakes see, while still being blasted by years of abuse and weather. Prep is key to all painting adventures.

Engine enamel holds up great. My calipers with engine enamel held up better than my roommate's calipers with caliper paint.
