NTB chipped my BREMBOS!!

Well, I had a new set of tires put on my G at NTB. I told them to be careful with the impact wrench, I didn't want to see any scratches on my rims. They understood and said they would be careful. I wash the car the next day and I see an inch long chip out of the gold paint on my front right Brake Caliper.. Needless to say I was a little upset! I understand that in most cases the calipers are just steel so you can bump them with the rim when putting the rims back on but damn.... The Brembos are shiny Gold, you would think that would put a light on upstairs, DON'T THROW THE RIM INTO THE CALIPER... So I called them and the manager didn't sound to happy, but I told them they are going to fix it.. Has anyone had the paint repaired on the Brembos??????
I wonder if you can get Gold paint to match, and then a clear coat to put over it so that brake dust comes off like the rest of the caliper.

we have had best luck with using touch up paint for the 350Z Lemans Sunset color, pretty decent match and stands up OK to heat, I think the Volvo color on the C70 from 2000 would be a better match though. Good luck!

brembos

Nope.. take it from me..
The BEST match to re touch the brembos is the honda inca gold color.
Unless you inspect with a fine tooth coomb, you wont notice the touch up
