........I used Dupli-Color on my bumper and it is pretty damn close. 
Matching Calipers
Matching Calipers Ok i have a NBM TA and was gonna paint my calipers gloss black when i get my TTIIs next week. We after digging around a bit i found some engine paint called new ford blue that is so damn close its unreal. Check it out in the pic. I think its gonna be so sick looking once i get em done! 
The yellow on the hood is a light glare from the garage door light not some something wrong with the paint lol..

looks like a good match, maybe a little bit of flake added ontop, but either way it will look badass!
I am planning matching my calipers to my body color too. I have a buddy mixing up some SOM for me for my calipers and (hopefully upcoming) rear bumper/cme project. I bought some clear coat of the same brand paint as you a few weeks ago to go over my SOM for heat protection and a perfect match...good luck to you and post finished pictures!

Oh dude that will look sick on your car. If you had black wheels it would totally be the ****. Good luck with yours! I will definately post pics. Im not much of a painter so adding metallic to the job might not be the best of ideas for me LOL 
I actually just finished working on mine this weekend. I painted my calipers black, and polished the brackets. I'm hoping to order new rotors and pads this week (funds permitting). It's the start of a "theme". Black calipers, black billet grill, etc.

**** maybe ill just go with gloss black then. i would love to have the calipers match the paint, that would be sick. nhra red looks good on black cars but not on a blue one i dont think imho.
