Brembo touch up paint ?
My brembo caliper have some "nicks" in them where some jackace was careless with installing the wheel back on ( and/or changing the brake pads ). Anyway I can get something close to matching it for touch up besides having a custom shop match it ( like something quick and mail order or over the counter ? ).
Thanx in advance !!!

Bumping an old thread instead of starting a new one, I'm searching for touch-up paint and so far here are the responses I've seen:
-Honda Inca
-Honda Inca/Nissan Orange Mist mix
-Brembo keeps the color code on lock down
-Color matched by a paint store
-etc, etc.
Most of the threads/websites are pretty outdated so has anyone found a better solution? I want to touch up my calipers and apply new stickers; make them purdy again.

^^ i dont see why you dont support their products just because of some paint chips caused by you or someone changing your wheels.... but yea i really dont understand why they wont release some touch up paint.. i have the same issue.. i actually caused 2 or 3 little chips when i was changing my wheels and got my finger caught between the brake and the wheel and had to let it down on top of of caliper 
but antyway if you find a color that matches let us know!!

There was a guy on eBay that made high temp Brembo stickers but they were too large. I sent him the dimensions of my front caliper letters to try and cover the existing ones but they weren't perfect. Never got a chance to use them

I also had problems matching Brembo caliper gold to repair nicks in preparation for a car show years ago. Go to your local hobby shop (I found Humbrol paints at Hobbytown USA), and look for the line of Humbrol (UK) British enamels. They come in little metal tins instead of the usual US glass bottles. I found an orangey gold that when applied, matched PERFECTLY! A search of my stash failed to turn up that tin so I can quote the two digit color code, but I will post again if I can find that tin. Try it! Most gold paints are way too pale and lack the orangey tint - this Humbrol shade worked beautifully and surprisingly resisted the heat really well on the calipers, needing touchup only after another 2.5 years.

Do you remember if it was metallic? 16 and 54 look pretty close.
