yeah, I'm pretty sure they are anodized. Thats why people have had them discolor when using harsh wheel/brake cleaning chemicals.

I've never seen paint do this, but anodizing does if hit with chemicals

Wow this looks amazing! Did you get it refinished through the BMW dealer? Care to share the expected cost? I have some decolorization on mine.

Can you tell me where you had your CCB refinished?
I know this was a post awhile ago. Where did you get your calipers refinished?
Mine are in need. |

I contacted Brembo a while ago and this was their response:
The coating used at the BMW M caliper has an oxidation as a base layer and on top a liquid paint. This paint can change its color if it is being confronted with higher temperatures. The paint code is GOLD 1PR (no correspondence to Pantone references etc..). Unfortunately the paint code GOLD 1PR does not provide us more information if it only used internally by Brembo. On their website are also 5 reason why not the use repainted calipers: https://www.brembo.com/en/company/ne...alipers-brembo |

When you rebuild a caliper to replace boots and seals you almost disassemble it down to a bare caliper anyway so scuffing the caliper and applying fresh paint isn't much more work. So long as the piston buckets and bleeder/crossover ports are covered/plugged its fine. I can't speak for brembo but ST anodizes their calipers and then applies their painted finish above that. If you get any brake caliper remotely hot they will discolor unless that color is black. |

just came across something that made me think of this thread- It appears people are also Cerakoting their calipers. Cerakote is known a lot in the gun world for high-heat, durable coatings. If you click this link, some of the gold cerakote options look pretty dang good, albeit not exactly the same. Just another option for people...

Could try finding someone at Brembo OEM to answer the question since they're the supplier.

there is no code the calipers. Whoever is painting them or powdercoating them needs to just tint it accordingly. The calipers dont even have a shiny clear on it either. More of a flat finish, which needs to be considered as well
