Ceramic brake calibers colour
I'm supposed to repaint the Ceramic brake calipers. Does anyone know what is the paint color code for the brake calipers?

Thaks, I found out that Brembo does not announce any exact color coding for brake calipers.
The next problem is: Can I get a spare part this caliper connection line link pipe? This: Or do I visit local hydraulic work shop? |

It's going to be difficult to get the color exact, i painted a set in a similar colour, of a Suzuki.

Thank for this info. Is this a mix of those two codes? Or what?

I went to a local paint store where I have buy color-coded paints for spray bottles before. Their paint mixing computer did not recognize either of the above color codes. After that, we started looking for the right color by comparing different colors on the brake caliper. We found 2 close to the right colors:
and Picture 1 was very close to the correct color when we compared it next to the M logo. On the other hand, the color in picture 2 was close to the right one when we compared the color in other areas of the brake caliper. However, I ended up with option 1. In this picture, I have started to fill that hole/scratch with paint. I think the color is really close to the original. Finding the right color code for caliber is always case-specific. The color of brake calipers changes over time due to heat, dirt, etc. Let's see how it works...

It's okay, the color codes you mentioned are probably US specific, the EU area does not recognize them. The color I use is Mars Gold metallic. Color map E1533.

The original M logo appears to be printed on the CCB caliper. What was your solution? Did you just go with heat resistant decals or ????? |

And to confirm you went with E1533? I don't need to be perfect because I'm painting my CSL brace to match the calipers. There is no silver on my car and the silver STB looks funny to me. I'm going to match the calipers and if I don't like that... Black. |

For anyone else looking I took it to the paint supplier and it’s a Valspar Automotive paint code. |
