As title really guys, looking to paint calipers blue like the R32 ones are, was there a specific paint that was used?

I am thinking of going with G2 caliper paint in blue, from looking around the net looks a decent match, what do you guys think?

hammerite. not sure if they do a blue close to what your looking for but im sure theyll do blue.


or go on ebay, plenty of "break paint" on there for less than a 5er, must be one you like the look of
