As far as I was aware, no Subaru calipers are red from the factory, so don't expect a match that way. They were probably done with a high temp paint, or Hammerite. try that.

In that case, I stand corrected. You might have to get a paint made up from a car paint shop, if Subaru don't do it themselves.

Looks like Hammerite red would cover it.

Did you touch up with hammerite or repaint them completely? If it's even close that's great, will pick some up
