Touch up paint for gold brembo's?

Are there any readily available spray paints that come close to the OEM gold on Brembo calipers? I'm doing a rotor change soon and want to touch them up before I finish the job.

I believe Honda Inca Pearl touch up paint is the closest anyone has found.

Brake calipers get very hot with use. Regular car paint is not designed for high temp use. If you do any high performance driving/braking, you will cook the touch up paint right off!

Call Brembo and see what they say?Last I looked (granted that was quite awhile ago),I couldnt find anything. I suppose they can always come of and get professionally touched up/ redone ?

You are right, but what if I coat with high-temp clear-coat after I touch-up with regular paint? the paint under the clear-coat cannot "melt" to anywhere rite?

also, the Honda gold works decently for small areas, but for large chips, it's better to re-paint the whole thing.

Paint is only as good as the 1st coat. If it flakes off, all the coats above it will come off too.

i'd use touchup only on lower-temp parts. def DO put clearcoat on, even the hi-temp stuff.
