Does anyone here know if there is a place you can order brake caliper paint that has a selection of colors other than Ferrari red and silver. I am looking for different colors besides the normal basic ones. Anyone know if you can get a color like the Henna Red from the old E30 M3? Thanks for any help!:)

On my old car, I just used regular paint from Home Depot. They were 4-piston calipers and everything. I autocrossed it too and had no problems with the paint wearing away.

Just don't use engine paint. It chips too easily.
