Default Caliper colors?

I've been thinking about painting my brake calipers, but I want to do them in a bronze color. Anyone know where to get high temp. bronze/gold paint? (I always see basic, red, blue, green, yellow, black, etc.)

but in gold or bronze? I dunno, I never have seen it.

I know alot of people will say they would not do it, I understand. I just have some free time and calipers that are different colors! (black front, red rear...different brake donors)

That looks great!

Either that, depending on your setup or flat black

That would be good, where did you get the paint for that? I just don't seem to find gold color anywhere.
