Default YellowCaliper Paint

For those of you who painted your calipers yellow. Which paint manufacturer came the closest to matching Millennium Yellow?

Great looking color matches. However, I should have clarified that I am planning to do the painting myself and am looking for info on the various DIY kits available.

I paintd mine 3 years ago with Rustolium Sunrise Yellow from Ace Hardware. They still look as good as the day I painted them. The brackets are Gloss Black. Had many positive comments on them!! It went on easy, of course the car was brand new. Cost me about $5.00 and my time

He does it on a core exchange. He will send them to you then you have 10 days to send your cores back to him for the core charge. Mine is my daily driver too so I did it where I could change them out on the weekend and ship the cores back to him on monday.

I went to the local auto paint store and had them mix a can of Millenium Yellow paint for me and put it in a spray can. Cost me $8.00
Cleaned the parts real good with carburetor cleaner and masked off what I didn't want painted and sprayed away. Put about 4 coats on. Let it dry then took a black permanent marker and did the CORVETTE letters black.
