Default Color code of the OEM brembo?

Hi could someone tell me whats the color code of our OEM Brembo I know it is call the PRISMATIC GOLD but I want to know the code because I am getting a set of front 6 pots and rear 4 pots BBK and it is in pink red color.... is this PRISMATIC GOLD same as the GTR R35 Brembo color also? Thanks!

I am 100% guessing here, but my assumption has always been that the R35 brake caliper color is the same as the Z33 Brembo brakes.
In any case, unfortunately I do not know the actual color code.

Lots of discussions about this over the years but I don't think there ever was a specific color that was the same exact match as the OEM Brembos. Let us know if you ever figure it out.

Humrol #54 is about as close as I've seen, but AFAIK, it's only available in little tins made for scale model builders. Works well as a touch-up. Perhaps buy a little tin, and take it to a paint shop for a custom mix in a larger quantity.

I bought the Humbrol #54 "brass" color to touch up my Brembos, and the color matched "OK" when first applied and dried, but then those spots became very dark orange/brown after the brakes heat cycled a few times. So all in all, I wouldn't recommend it, especially not for large areas. Luckily my chips were all relatively small.

I used the Humbrol on some tiny chips, and so far it's been OK for me, but I haven't tracked the brakes or ever had them get super hot. As far as the OP's request, I was just recommending it for a color match to get a larger batch of suitable paint made, or maybe a close powder coat color can be found.

That's the Humbrol they're talking about and it doesn't match very well, or at all really. I've tried it as well and did not like.

I've used the Humbrol. Close match IMO but only for touch-ups. Can't tell from 5 feet away.
