Limited Addiction Red is also known by
Crimson Red
Siren Red
Passion Red
Long Beach Red The name used by Corvette
It's all the same paint although some could be a tint coat version.
G1E WA 405Y is the code
The paint names depend on which GM vehicle you bought
I wouldn't suggest you use body paint on calipers. Someone like TPSMAK (above) would be the route to go

Thanks for posting paint code, I will save it for any future needs.

Lesson learned - always make sure to spin the wheels by hand before putting the car back on the ground to ensure no interference.
Good advice that I will be using in the future.
