Default Red, but not torch red ??

Has anyone painted their calipers red but not torch red? I am in the middle of a complete teardown of my car so I thought, what the hell, I need a change. Id like to paint it a little darker red and wanna see pics

I have seen that in posts on the forum here, but don't remember who the car belonged to, have you tried doing a search?
