Blue Spot Colour Match

[skyehigh]

Hi
Rebuilding my blue spot callipers this winter and as I have them all apart thought I would paint the Blue Caps as they are looking a bit grubby. Does anyone know the paint colour that would be as close to the original blue as possible. I tried hummerite blue but it is not quite right.
A search on google for auto blue makes me think electric blue or sapphire blue looks close but just wondered if anyone might have experience of painting them?
TIA

I'd have thought you'd be better off having them re-anodised, it's a cheap enough process to get the exact right finish as per new.

Be aware that brake calipers have the potential to get hot with aggressive braking. Depending on your riding style, this may or may not be a significant consideration for you. There are specialized paints formulated for brake calipers that I would choose for such a project. If you occasionally ride your bike aggressively, or do a track day now and then, caliper paint would probably be the way to go.

Having built a few Tamiya motorbike kits I have used the Humbrol metallc blue in specific places. I have used this to cover up a scratch on one of the blue spots on my R1 and it matches so well it is not noticeable.
I goggled it and a small pot is now about £1.78 from on-line or from a local model shop.
