Hey guys,

So I ordered some new rotors and pads for the e92 (AW/CR) and was thinking of painting the calipers while I'm gonna be in there to install it.

Question is though, what colour do I go with? I know a lot of people say stick to something subtle like black if you're painting the OEM calipers, but I like the look of red.

So the real question is helping me find a colour that's as close to the Coral Red Leather in our Interiors as possible.

This is a site that I came across which had quite a few colour to choose from.

Thanks in advance guys!

335, aggressive: red
328, not so much: black

I'm not bustin on the 328, I own one, just sayin.

Black or Silver, and don't forget to paint the center of the rotor to prevent rust in that area. I used Rustoleum Hammered Aluminium on both 3.5 years ago, and still no rust or discoloration.

335. The cars looks/sounds/driven pretty aggresive so I'm not too worried about getting flammed for going red, it's more so which shade of red o go with.

Home Depot and CT carry some high temp paint, but the colours are very limited. If you're just looking for a basic black or silver I'd start there!

Bump for some help guys!

Get the bright red G2 paint system for your calipers/hubs. I'd say go black on the hubs and red on the calipers. It's expensive stuff, but it works really well and it comes out looking great.

Don't do any color other then red or black. You will get flamed hard at meets for painting them red, yellow, or blue. White might even look nice on the car though. If you have brembos it's cool to have colors otherwise it just seems like your trying to hard. IMO of course you can do what you want. Nice car though. I painted mine black.
