Challenger Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Have you tried going to home depot, lowes, or a paint shop? You can look at which gold is closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just so you know caliper paint is just marked up engine block paint. So if you get more just get the engine paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Try asking or searching on classiczcars.com. This is more up their ally than ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
