Having recently had my brakes checked by my local Alfa dealer I have noticed that they have chipped:rant: the paint on the corners of the callipers.
Does anyone know what colour red they are as I want to touch them up before the paint peels off across the callipers.

The search function is your friend
Some info here http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/general-alfa-discussion/150982-matching-alfa-brembo-red.html

There have been a good few threads on the subject in a few of the Tech Lounges & GAD but IIRC there has never been a colour code posted.

The only thing I have seen is touch up paint for the Mitsu Evo calipers, also Brembo red so maybe a very close match.

Any success with this?

They are powder coated rather than painted, any old red will do.

How will "any old red do" when it doesnt match the origional colour ?

You'll never notice is what I mean, it gets lots of different light and shade behind the wheel.

Buy a bright red touch up from Halfords.

I have used the old Colorado Red touch-up stick that I used to use on my Fiesta ST (from Halfords). It blends in quite well, but as CJ Romeo said; You're not really going to notice if the colour is a little off.

Dam! I never saw this comment! And instead i went to halfords and got the colarado ford red, its no where near a match but i suppose it did the job and will stop the chips rusting. It looks like the caliper has a rash
