Sorry, tried searching ....
Is it possible to mix caliper paints? For instance, I want to paint my calipers baby blue. Can I mix the white and blue to make light blue? Or mix silver and blue to get a grayish/silverish blue?
I want to know whether someone has tried it and failed before I go for it. :P

I think you can just spray both colors in a pan and and use a brush to paint them. If the color turns out bad just dont use it.

Probably too blue for you. I mixed some black with my red caliper paint to give it a richer red look. It'll work, just be trial-n-error. :P
Try looking into Duplicolor Engine Enamal Spray. That is what I use on all of my brake stuff. It has a very high temp. rating & comes in many colors. They also have a high temp primer & clear coat. Just a suggestion !
You could go with the Old Ford Blue or the old Mopar Blue wich is close to a baby blue. I went with the New Ford Blue untill I switched it to Chevy Red. Here is an OLD pic of my xB & how they came out in New Ford Blue wich is a dark blue.
Sorry I know it's not a close up but it was the only pic I could find with the blue brakes.
