MAG RED II Owners
FYI...If you're looking for a spray paint to do some of your
engine/caliper projects, look for PlastiKote ANODIZIT Red #101.
Paint
I stumbled across this stuff in a local dollar store and the cap
color seemd close. At a buck a can, I picked up 6 cans.
I tested it out on a piece of aluminum and compared to my car finish.
I don't think you could get this close a color match without mixing.
And it's far cheaper than the small GM touch-up paint cans.
A few links said that PEP Boys carries this stuff.
I'm going to use it to do my calipers and my radiator cover.
It's good for 500° F. If you use a silver base coat, you could probably
get that nice metallic look.
Pics when I'm done.

Looked at some tonight. You need their base coat, and the directions were fairly specific...something like if you have waited more than an hour between coats, you have to wait 48 hours to spray again...
