As I stated in the second post, I had a silver Charger I painted with blue calipers, here's a pic, maybe it can help you decided. BTW it's not the best pic, but it was the best I could find.

Not sure, but I used Duplicolor high temperature engine paint and this is how it turned out. Still looks good today.

Yeah I think im going with Dupli-color because its a little cheaper. Should I make a car thread to ask questions like this?

Okay, I'm going to paint my Calipers this week. I'm stuck between Red and Orange. What do you guys think I should go for?

Orange it is then. I'm aware that Brembo makes calipers for AMG and I love the orange color they produce. However, upon searching online, the oranges were either bright or a little on the red side. I notice that the new AMGs appears to be a bit darker in color. Do you guys know where can get the paint?

+1 on the orange. Id go with metallic orange but that's just me.

You can get engine paint from autozone. That's what I used.

Actually, I want to match something close to these. I love this color. This is what I was aiming for. Any feedback would be great! You guys know where I can find this color?
