Best Brembo Matching Red Paint for Rear Caliper Upgrade

[3gGT01]

I had previously installed the Freakyparts Brembo red caliper upgrade on the front of my 07 E86 M. I've now ordered everything to do the rear calipers upgrade based on the Porsche ~2000 Cayman S rear calipers. I want to paint them to match the front red Brembo's. Does anyone know of a good color matched caliper paint I could use? I'm looking at: ERA, VHT, Dupli-Color, Eastman, Rust-Oleum, POR-15, Spraymax primer/clear, Hammerite, etc. The underlying primer color will also affect the end color. I just want to get it reasonably close, I don't want to paint them twice as some of the paints are expensive. ERA doesn't have a heat resistant clear coat. I'm not planning to track this car, so it may still be ok according to ERA, but could yellow from heat, they stated. I'm not sure of compatibility between some of the different paint brands, say I wanted to apply a heat resistant primer, base and clear coat, ERA only has the heat resistant pigmented paint product not the clear. I will put a Brembo sticker on it and would probably want to clear coat it. Lots of choices, but hoping some of you have experience with matching OEM Brembo red to after market paint products.

I did the same thing, but silver. I used normal "caliper paint" as the rear ones usually run cooler than the fronts, they held up really well.

I ended up going withe the 2K ERA paint, ~$70 per can and rust oleum high built primer.

Used new silicon dust boots and normal piston seals. New SS bleeder valves and rubber caps. New brake retainer hardware. Used heat resistant Brembo labels. Did not clear coat and don’t plan to track car.
