Hi All

I have a couple of tiny chips on my yellow calipers I want to touch in - does anyone know the exact name/code of the colour, or where I can find it, in which case I can possibly get some made up at my local Halfords (who made a great match for the carbonio nero).

I am not sure if it is the same yellow as used for the yellow Coupes/GS.

Presumably the alternative is to source a touch in bottle from the main stealers?

Thanks, any/all assistance appreciated

Be worth dropping Brembo an email for the exact match , but any good body shop should be able to do an electronic /manual match

Hi NFM, Just had a look in my OM (MY04 CC4200) and it shows the factory options as red and silver-grey but not yellow?

Maybe yours are an 'after-market' change and therefore possibly difficult or impossible to identify with any certainty?

Maybe try Halfords as a 'close enough' touch-up option?

Cheers, Miles.

Very droll, mind you that shade of yellow is about right. I may also check with the dealer as they should be able to confirm - I am nearly sure I have seen other cars with yellow but maybe not?

Just by way of update I note in the 2005 brochure (Frank posted a link to brochures today) the caliper colour choices for the Coupe were black, silver, red, titanium and yelow so it looks my yellow is a factory colour.

Crashed and burned with the dealer, Halfords don't mix caliper paint and brembo never replied so will get a pot made up when next near the paint shop.

Cheers

Thanks for the update nfm, and apologies for the bum-steer. Must have expanded the choice with the '05 face-list. Regards, Miles.
