Racing Blue Caliper Paint

Car  172 Silver Cup
Can Anyone Recommend me a Caliper paint that is a close match to Racing Blue, doesn't have to be spot on as car isn't Racing Blue but love the colour.
 
Halfords do brake caliper paint in tins i used there silver which came out good but i think they do a blue too.
 
Hammerite smooth blue is very close to RB iirc.

If you want an exact match take it to a bodyshop, they won't charge that much to paint the calipers and they won't even need the car for long either. I got mine done flame red, look awesome and they aren't affected by brake dust...so far.
 
I got A RB 182 n halfords caliper paint an is spot on colour match. Don't normally go for halfods stuff but that i recommend.

Did they take them off and spray them properly?
Charge much?
 
Hammerite smooth, applied a couple of times with a brush (after you've cleaned the area up) will be more than fine, no need to remove calipers etc.
 
The darker colour halfords caliper paints are actaully quite good but I would stay away from the yellow and silver, thin as water, needs about 10 coats.

Ive got Hammerite on mine, just cleaned and sanded calipers then 3 coats.

Thing is; when Im using the brakes alot it can go a bit soft, I'd be worried about it on a track day tbh!
