I painted mine with dupli color red 3 years ago. They still look good. As for not matching exactly, if you notice that, you're way too ****, imo. I can hardly notice the difference, and it matters not to me.

I used the engine enamel and it is such a good match...I tested it on my mirrors which are
really chipped up...I can't tell where the duplicolor ends and the stock paint starts...in fact
it is a better match than the custom touch up paint I had made at the local auto paint shop.

I love it when a two year old thread I started gets bumped to the top.

Not sure what went wrong with my duplicolor kit but it didn't look like that when I finished. They were way darker than the pics posted here. So I had to go with Ford Red. If you can get that color with the duplicolor kit then go for it since it looks great.

I used Ford Red and it's pretty close. It beats paying $4-500 for Z06 calipers.
