There's a good reason you are struggling to find some.

You might be better off getting a paint shop to mix the paint in with some hight temp stuff.

Use Hammerite Smoothrite, mix green and yellow until you have your colour, mix in a jar, apply by brush, equal to most sprayed finishes, and as hard-wearing as any.

good idea. i already have a can of yellow.
i can always paint with brush and if i dont like the finish i can always repaint them.

Make sure you get HT Stuff other wise it wil just come off the calipers..... you will also need some high temp laquer.
Are you taking the calipers off to paint/spray them ? If you re be VERY careful putting the calipers back on and with the bleeding as the break fluid will just mash the paint.
