Default Big Brake Color Code?

The previous owner was somehow able to manage chipping the paint on 2 of the painted Big Red Brakes. I went to the dealership yesterday to get touch-up paint for it, and you would have thought I offered to eat their firstborn child. They even called Porsche, and they said they don't have such a thing. Really, so is this some sort of 8th wonder of the world that no one can figure out? They suggested I take it to a body shop. Wow. So I now leave my query in the hands of the experts...anyone have a color code?

Pelican Parts has the red caliper paint. Looks like it's $39.95. Go to PelicanParts.com and search red brake paint. Should pop right up.

I repainted my balck calipers red with an epoxy kit from Tirerack and it looks fantastic, was easy to do but took some prep work to get them looking real nice. The red color is not the same as the stock red porsche calipers, I read somewhere that Porsche used the "Gaurds Red" body color on the stockers?

I contacted the vendor who sells the paint on Pelican. He said it wasn't a perfect match. Anyone else have any info or color code?

I think that caliper paint is a high-temp formula. Not sure you can just use body paint.
