Caliper paint (Standard Red)

[Stu67]

Evening All,

As a little winter project, I'm going to refinish the rear calipers in hi temp 2K enamel (Why the factory didn't bother, is another matter)

So, for those thinking of/doing the same, after a little on-line research, I was quite satisfied that they should be RAL3020 Traffic Red. But after a quick match up with a RAL chart, I think they are actually RAL3002 Carmine Red, see photo's, all a little subjective I know, but RAL3020 is definitely a "Lighter" red.

RAL 3020 is the standard colour for Brembo calipers. RAL 3002 is a standard Porsche car colour, it’s more of a dirty red. If you check out a Porsche “S or GTS” in Carmine you will see that the brake caliper is a brighter red.

I would choose RAL3001, but then again it's looking through a camera lens/photo. Plus I am CP4 colour blind for red & green according to her majesty's service
