Default Blue caliper paint code

Does anyone know the paint code for the blue calipers? I'm thinking of painting my tow hook to match.

Search Brembo Blue, It worked when I powder coated my brembo’s red on the ducati, believe it or not it was a dupli color product. Good luck!

Thanks. I really don't need an exact match so I'm going to try the duplicolor blue caliper paint.

It's a powder coat, not a paint code. For our valve covers, we use Prismatic Peeka Blue.

I love the ZR1 blue calipers, I did my C7 calipers this color back in 2014. Do you have pics on the SO? I like the design package; however, I dont care for how the calipers dont match the paint and they chose to match the aero stripes to the calipers. I'd have rather had ZR1 blue and even still talked about matching the blue on my tow hooks as well because I ordered them raw to be powdered. But, none of my techs want to see the blue against the orange, despite the badges being blue lol

- Your techs are wrong. If your car has blue calipers then blue tow hooks will look good.

Well, unfortunately they're the orange, which don't match the paint anyway, but the ZR1 badging has blue so I'm rolling with it. I might redo the calipers depending on how I like it, but then the pin striping doesn't match the paint either, so that would need to come off too. less and less like an SO design package...
