Color Code

I was thinking of painting the calipers with the same color as the body of my car but I can't find the color code, where should I look for it?

Should be one of the RPO codes on the drivers side door - make sure whatever you get will handle the heat.

Where can I get a list of the RPO colors for our cars?

Paint codes usually start with two numbers, followed by a U. For instance mine is 28U. Thinking yours is probably 44U? Also the color description can change year to year for the same code - Firebird 44U for 2K is called Medium Red Metallic, 2K1 Camaro 44U is Montery Maroon Metallic. Gotta be a paint site somewhere, I'll find one....

Thanks for the info 2001NBMZ28 I really appreciate the help.

Now would it be a good idea to paint the calipers with original paint if I first primed the calipers with heat resistant primer? Does anyone know if I would have a problem with this?
