You want to use the Duplicolor Caliper paint kit. The Calipers were not painted using the Torch Red code. They only came painted on the Z06 and all were red no matter what color the car was.

Not sure what the paint code on the Z06 calipers is - they are powdercoated. The Duplicolor stuff may be very close.
