Gold spray paint

[markmartin]

Does anyone have suggestins to what brand or shade of gold spray paint matches up with the gold on the '89 FJ's.  I'm looking to paint a brake caliper and possibly a sprocket.

thanks,

Mark

Gold dots don't need painting.  And work great too. Go get all the gold paint that looks close, do some tests. Remember the color of the primmer under will change the shade of gold. I would think gold sprocket would be hard to keep clean. Paint is cheap at wally world.

Yes, someday, gold dots up front.  This is for a GSXR rear caliper...  you can probably figure out the rest of the story now.

Hello Mark, I used a shade of gold on my blue FJ, called K&H Drum Disc & Caliper paint, Bright Gold. I'm not sure if you have K&H aerosol paints over there, but thats what I did my GSXR caliper and disc with. Its very bright to start with, but then goes darker. Have a look at a couple of photos of my GSXR wheel swap listed below in my sig, not sure how close it is to what you want,

Thanks Ray.  I was able to find the K& H on line and for $8 for a can. Unfortunately shipping was $16 so I'm going to look locally for that or a similar product.  I didn't even think to look for disc and caliper paint.  I didn't know they made such a specific type of paint.  I knew that brakes get hot and I wanted to paint my brakes but never put the two together.  I don't' know if regular spray paint would peel off due to the heat but I'd rather not find out.
