I had mine painted last year. I had the Brembro color copied and put JVD 350z graphics on front and rear calipers

So Copper 6320 looked better than Sunset 6324? I'll take your word for it since your actual calipers look like a great match

BTW, like I asked on my email, do either Copper or Sunset contain metallic flake in the paint?

Be a man...knock their teeth out! lol

But seriously, if you like it, go for it. It's the same as someone painting their calipers red. However, personally I don't like red. The Brembo gold goes well with my Burnt Orange seats and the orange gauges, which is why I like it.

No issues and looks great,good enough that when I show car someone always coments on calipers. You don't need high heet paint unless you are tracking or have a heavy foot on the brake.

The Copper 6320 I know for sure is a metallic paint. I don't remember if the Sunsset was or not. I will look for the paint sample and snap a pic of it, then post it... if I can find it again.
