Brake caliper paint colour

[mr.tourette]

On my dsb e89, theyre hanging out for all to see now so they'll have to be cleaned up. Im only considering dark blue or yellow, possibly silver but you're welcome to try and change my mind

Edit.. Poll changed to 2 votes pp.. Grey added

Personally I'd go for red! :lol:

But of the colours suggested I'd pick yellow.

I went for Blue - the colour that BMW paint their posh callipers!
My 335 is Tanzanite blue and has the M blue callipers and it looks ok in my opinion.

Yellow............ :roll:

 

[Silverstar]

How about gold?

 

[Ole gits rule]

Out of those options - Yellow for me but think red would also look good

 

[Zed Baron]

Here you go, lots of options https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/foliatec-brake-caliper-paint-and-engine-lacquer-243118/

Yellow............ :roll:

Im not drawing my pension yet mate..blue is 90% my first choice, yellow an outsider but i wasn't ruling it out .. silver a bit meh but it does look ok and I had a feeling would be the most popular

After seeing this curveball though I might yet do them grey

I saw that somebody on the forum had a silver caliper with a red anti rattle shim - thought that looked really good

I went graphite after silver for years. The rust doesn't break through now. More gloss in the paint.

Yep that was me!, actually it's dark grey with candy red:

Did mine yesterday, only took this pic because I was battling the time. Paint caliper, clean wheels, spray rattle plate put wheels on and repeat other side. Was dark and foggy by the time I finished last caliper. Pleased though, looking forward to getting home lunchtime to see full effect.
Glad I got red but could easily have gone with yellow.

I went for yellow, as I think blue may look a bit odd, being a different shade to the car. Unless you can match it.
On my VO E89 I used black, with the retaining clips and hubs in silver. Couldn't think of many other colours that went with the orange.
Wifey asked for yellow on her Sterling Grey E85 and it looks pretty good tbh.

A man with a sense of humour....tis most refreshing these days.....

Grigio silver grey.....that’s it, no more needs saying. :wink:

 

[enuff_zed]

Not very good ones, as one is in the garage and the other under the narrow car port atm, so not easy to give you an idea against the body colour, sorry.
(And yes I know the MV2s need a refurb)

I went with yellow but it doesn't really work with the standard Z4 calipers,, the various ridges accummulate brake dust and dirt and it shows up quickly and the ridges are difficult to clean, a grey/silver/black are better choices IMHO with hindsight..
