Default Rice question: Matching paint for Spoon calipers

Got a set of front Spoon calipers. I had this idea about painting the rears the Spoon blue just so the front and rear would match. I know, it's rice--but I also think it would look halfway decent if done correctly.

Has anyone tried this and do you know of any paint that comes close to the Spoon blue? Another wild thought--can a paint store match the blue paint on the calipers if you take the caliper into them?

Believe me, that has crossed my mind. However, I'm worried about painting the fronts because it will hold the heat in. The rears don't do that much so I'm not worried about them.

JDM **** huh?

lol, anyways, it's not paint on the calipers, it what they use when they andonize it. King shocks for offroad trucks share the same shade of blue. You could just andonize the rear calipers the same smurf blue.

Bah.. they were only $1,300 and I wanted a 4pot that fits under 15" rims. Plus at the time I was a big stunna and I had money to burn.
