Default 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 meant to be..... I got some mixed up and it is more gold with less orange/bronze in it. I guess it depends on who mixes it.

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.

Spent ages looking for this too. Bought some Inca pearl and as everyone says its not great match, not enough orange.

As above, go to paint mixing shop and get it matched. Only way to be sure.
