Touch up paint for the brembos
I know this is a long shot, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
A long time ago, I found someone on eBay that was selling touch-up paint specifically for the X's brembos. He was a UK seller, and the paint was a custom-mixed high temp enamel that you can apply by brush. The paint matched perfectly, and that was 4 years ago. It still held up well right now, shows no sign of coming off, and the color hasn't faded one bit.
Problem is I can't find it anymore, particularly because I remember the guy's eBay auction title was not very spot-on when it comes to searches. I'm in need of it again, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please point me in the right direction, thanks.
EDIT: I found that the best paint to match the Evo X's brembo calipers is actually Testors #1104TT.

It will darken, but at a different pace...so it looks like a brown caliper with herpes
But at least this will get me started. If it doesn't match properly, I'll just go for a darker shade of touch up and keep trying.

Same eBay seller I originally bought touch-up for the X. Of course...I can't find the seller anymore, so what I did was followed on Iowa's lead and bought several shades of Testors enamel red. They're cheap enough to splurge on. Iowa could be right or wrong, but for sure it will match the X or the IX. If the SKU he provided didn't work for me, it most likely will work for the IX.
