Caliper and caliper bracket paint

I'm thinking about painting my caliper and caliper brackets. I want to paint the caliper a different color than the caliper bracket. I have been reading up on the G2 caliper paint and it sounds like some really good stuff. So I plan on painting my caliper with G2 but was wondering if it is necessary to paint the caliper brackets with G2? Or if I could use something cheaper for the brackets? Thanks.

I used engine enamel and it's still holding up fine.

Engine paint works good. Doesn't matter what paint you use, nothing will last long if the surface isn't cleaned and prepped properly. Calipers are very dirty so clean them well. I always take mines completely apart when I paint them.
