Red Brake Caliper Paint
Where can I purchase red brake caliper paint, same red as ZO6?
I see lots of vendors selling red. For example, Auto Zone sells a kit from Dupli Color, but just not sure that the Dupli Color red is the same as the GM ZO6 red.
Appreciate your help!

I've heard somewhere that DupliColor FORD red is the closest to the actual red color painted on by the factory - that's what I used (actually, I used Duplicolor primer, then Duplicolor FORD red, then Duplicolor clearcoat) then use a razor blade to scrape the paint off of the "CORVETTE" letters on the caliper

Thanks for the input and information, looks like I'll be buying the Rustolium Sunrise Red.
Now a second question has to do with painting the brake caliper mounting brackets...........red or black?????? What do you think?
I'd really like to see pictures of painted calipers with black brackets as well as painted calipers with mounting brackets painted the same color.
Thanks!
