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.
