Brembo paint code
Hello
Does anyone know the colour code for gold Brembo calipers?
I am thinking of matching the wheels with the calipers, good idea or do you think the Brembo colour is too dark?
Cheers

It's supposed to be Inca Pearl Gold (Y61P?) However as I previously said that looks more like a flat gold than a bronze / metallic gold when sprayed on.
I'd suggest you ask around and get a good paint mixing company to mix you up a sample to compare, and maybe get some from another company to compare. For example the mail order touch up WRB that came with my car was too dark. When I got some paint work done recently the bodyshop mixed up a little extra. It's an exact match.
It depends on what you're trying to do? Is it a touch up or complete refurb? You'll never blend properly out of a can. It's either a touch up, or a complete strip and paint. Ask any of the body shop guys here. There's more to it than just rubbing back the bad area, priming, painting and 'blending' out
Halfords used to have a guide on their site of a process the recommended. Absolute waste of time trying to blend in panels or parts with cans.
Try that and see how you go. Personally I think they are more of a Peugeot Blaze yellow (Old 105 GTi colour) but I've yet to try it.
