Default How do I paint my calipers the same color as my car?

I have a dark blue A4 and I want to paint my calipers the same color as my car. What kind of paint do I need to use and how can I get it in the same color as my car?

Default He means the color..

I would just goto a body shop, and get the paint code for your color.. i kinda doubt thou that they'll have high temp paint in that specific color thou... Have you thought about painting them red? That would look killer with the blue!

Keep it real,

Default you'll just have to pick out the blue that best matches your car.

since hi-temp paint comes in specific colors...not custom. honestly though, the dark blue probably wouldn't even be noticed. might as well paint 'em black if the blue doesn't match close enough.

Where can I find high-temp paint online and for how much? What do you think about a grayish color?

Default just go to your nearest auto parts store.

they all should carry engine/hi-temp paint. you can paint 'em silver. that'll make your rotors look brand new. otherwise, i'd opt for black with gloss finish. if you want to be flashy, then red or yellow.
