is it safe to use Lemans Sunset touch up paint to touch up the brembo brake calipers? It is by far the closest color match i can find, but I am concerned if the paint can withstand the heat. Did anyone find any other paint that matched the caliper's color? Thanks!

 

I went to my local paint supply place and the lady came out looked @ my caliper went in and hand mixed some paint for me came back wand was pretty damn close. The she went back in and got it perfect. I've had it on for a week and haven't had any issues with melt or discoloration. The paint can says it's Omni Au MTK.

 

thanks! if the touch up paint doesnt match well, i'll try out your suggestion.

 

As long as you don't track your car the paint should adhere w/ no peeling problems.

 

but i am going to track my car...what should i do then? or am i better off not doing anything in this case? will the brake calipers rust??? TIA

 

I use LS touchup paint. It holds up to track days, but doesn't match great. perhaps the maxima orange would be better?

 

ah relieved to hear that...
the maxima orange is a worse match IMO

 

Your paint needs to be high heat capable, the caliper can get hotter then your engine.

 

like I said above, I use the LS touch-up paint and it holds up to track days, do you?

 

a lot of people do not under stand what LS means, I was clarifing.
