I bought gold caliper paint a few years back but it was nothing like the Brembo gold. This was kind of yellowy gold whereas I think the Brembo gold is more of a coppery colour.

Peugeot blaze yellow is supposed to be about as close as you can get to brembo gold. You need to use high temp primer and a good quality lacquer.. Will be a complete pain in the ass your better off just getting some proper calliper paint in a different colour or like Byers said ask trev to do some for you he does a great job too..

CHeers lads. I painted the brembos on my Leon cupra last year with just a tin of halfords red spray with clear laquer and it looked spot on. I know the proper way is Probs better but can still get a decent finish out of a can. THey are red at the mo but fancy doing them gold then do the writing red.
