I want to paint my calipers the stock brembo color, found out the paint code is Honda Inca Pearl Y-61P. Now I need to know where I can get this paint so I can paint all four calipers. Touch-up quantity will obviously not do the job and dont know where to get it from. If anyone has suggestions please let me know, thanks!
I painted mine with a color called "Stove-Bright" color "Copper." It's not dead on brembo gold, but it's damn close. Like you, I tried to do the same thing and found nothing. I even called brembo directly.
Here's the post I started a long time ago right after I finished mine.

Not sure I'd use it to paint the entire calipers, though; you need high temp paint designed for brake calipers (asside from the poser factor). Plus, if you're expecting to buy a can and brush it on, expect it to look like ****; metallics need to be sprayed on. Not to mention it'll need to be cleared as well. You can have any auto paint supply place mix up a batch for you, but as with all modern auto to-stage paint, the color coat will have a matte finish; it's the clear that makes it glossy. Touch up paint has clear mixed in; it's not as good as base topped with clear, but it's pretty glossy when it dries. Moot point, anyway, as I said above; unless you have high temp paint, it won't last.
The color you see on the Brembos and other BBKs is powder coat. To do it right, you'd need to pull and dissassemble your calipers, then take them for powdercoating; they have thousands of colors to choose from and can match pretty much anything. This is obviously labor intensive and expensive; best bet is a paint kit made for brakes (the two-part epoxy based ones come out with the best finish).
Edit:
Actually, try this stuff:

A buddy of mine did his brakes on his FX35 with it and they turned out pretty darn good. Not a perfect match to theh Brembo Gold, but a decent gold color.
