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.

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?

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?
