Gold Caliper Paint?

I wanna paint my Brembo's Gold. I have seen really nice Gold Brembo's on a hooked up 350, but im having trouble finding the caliper paint. Also, I was wondering if you guys would think gold caliper would look nice on my ride. For pics of my car, check the link in my sig.

Here's the color gold im looking for:

Im having trouble finding that real nice bright gold. Every paint I find is more of a dark brown gold. If you find any online of that light gold or know where to find it, let me know. Thanks

Added a Poll too.

I think you should paint them yellow to match your car. Gold might not go too well with yellow.

See but i think yellow would be kinda gay. lol. like its just too much yellow. and i looked at G2 but didnt see what their gold looked like. VHT's looks way brown. But im tired of having 2 different color calipers. So a change will be made! its just what color

Can someone photoshop gold calipers on my ride?

Gloss black man!

Yellow and Gold will not come out good at all.

Gloss Black will make them look great!
Or Gloss Yellow would look even better!

Whats under the hood? whats gonna be powedercoated?

Gloss black will probobly be cool for now i guess. Iwanted something really different, but when i get my rims powdercoated black and yellow you probobly wont be able to see the black caliper too well. know what im saying? while there stock colored black would probobly look the best. Maybe ill wait till my rims are dont b4 I touch the caliper

you ever think about gold wheels? i think that would be sick but I never buy rims unless they are gold or I like them enough to buy em , and then powdercoat em gold. I used to have a 98 2.5 RS impreza when I was 16 and it was BRP with gold wheels and I will never have another car without gold wheels again. it is teh sex.
