Where do I get custom caliper paint? I want to match my car color. My car color is sunset orange metallic. Any and all advice will help.

There is only one true caliper color...black Take a wheel off and look at your caliper. It will be black with grime, brake dust, ****, whatever.

It doesn't make a difference how closely you match the color. After a month of driving they will be dirty and faded

Where can I get them powder coated? Is there a big name company that does them? With powder coating will the color fade?

Cool

You really don't "need" so called caliper paint. I used Rustoleum from K-Mart and mine still look pretty good Several others have used non specialty caliper paint and haven't had a problem.
