Caliper red question...........
Does anyone know which of the reds available out there is the closest match in color to torch red?
I know there is "Duplicolor" red, and Rustoleum "Sunrise red"
or are there better matches out there? The reason I ask is that my rotor hats are painted a perfect torch red and I don't really want another shade clashing with them since they are so close to each other. Thanks!

I used Folia Tec Red Caliper paint and it seems to be a very good match for the torch red.
