Don't do touchup. Repaint back to gold, or even a brighter gold.

A color is just a color...not a particular brands color. So if he want's to paint them silver just like merc AMG brakes then is he making a fake brembo product??

OP personally I painted mine Grabber orange with black brembo lettering. Here is an example of what the color looks like.

I think black w/ white lettering would look good. But do whatever you like...

Black is great, it doesn't fade when you track your car.
