Are the "S" Calipers Guards Red?

I've got a couple of chips to touch up on my calipers. Are they Guards Red or some other shade?

no you cant use body paint on your calipers. You can get some high temp caliper paint (Folia Tec, G2, Dupli-Color) at your local checkers. It wont match perfectly, but for touch ups its good.

you can use that paint, but it probably wont hold.
you need some high temp paint to withstand the heat.

You really don't.

But I actually just need to know what the color is.
