This is my first time posting on the forums, even though I have been looking around at them for a while. Looking for some opinions as I want to paint my calipers and am tired of the dull look. Looking to use G2 paint but stuck between yellow and blue? Car is space grey with Black accents.

A lot of people are going to say black or silver.

Do yellow. If you do colored calipers though, I always recommend a keeping up a theme for your car.

Even though most go with it, I think red would look good with your car's colors. Can't quite picture blue or yellow looking good on it.

[Renegadenick]

My vote goes to silver.

Yeah I'd vote black, just because you already have black accents. If the stock calipers weren't so ugly, sure I'd go with something that does catch the eyes but those calipers would take away from his nice rims.

I vote black.

I'm stuck between black or blue myself but most likely will go with black. I have a space grey e92 as well.

Why paint relatively small calipers a bright color? It’s not like they’re M sized. I went with black.

[Rsoxs19]

My vote is silver. Just cleans them up. The brakes arent anything special so why to show them off? At least thats what I did and I love how it turned out.

[SGbimmerE92]

Thanks for all the input guys, as I wanted to take a risk I ordered the yellow and we will see how it goes.

Cars need to have a colour theme as one of the others said above me.

Unfortunately from factory you have a number of colours

Tail lights = red
Wheels = usually silver, yours are black
body paint = anything, yours is grey
trim = silver or gloss black if you have shadow line trim

My car I was lucky, black body, black window trim, black wheels, so there aren't too many conflicting colours.

If I were you I would do gloss black, gloss red or gloss silver.

Never do a flat colour, they should be shiny

Here are mine

Ive always loved orange and black, so thats my cars theme.

Black paint, black wheels, orange calipers and number plates.

[Ozzie335i]

1) Silver
2) black.

[GearHead335i]

I had red and now I have blue

[King Rudi]

My vote would have been black or the blue. Post pics after, let's see how they turn out.

Mine are currently red. Personally I am against painting calipers. I painted mine when I painted my wheels due to a recommendation from a friend. At first I wish I hadn't painted them red, but now that the car is all black it does break up the monotony of all the black.

[SGbimmerE92]

So I have not gotten around to painting yet, but I want to paint my rotor hats, probably black with some high temp VHT spray. Can anyone tell me if I can paint the entire hat, even the part that the wheel face sits on? Anyone who has done this please chime in I just wanna do the job right.

[King Rudi]

Paint the entire hat.

For your car's color, yellow gets my vote. It pops nicely. Not a fan of blue or orange..

Like the rotors

[SGbimmerE92]

Did this months ago but never got pictures but if anyone wants to see how it turned out on space grey here it is. [IMG][/IMG]

ESR RF2 wheels?

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

I did black since the rear caliper is so tiny. Black blends in nicely and is not a rusty eye sore when looking through the wheels.

If you had actual 2 pot or more calipers I would do vivid color like yellow or red.

EDIT: Lol funny finding my old post here as I am now looking for color ideas on google and ended up here. I'm actually going to try yellow in the upcoming week. Fk it I don't care they are one pot, the fronts still look beefy enough to look sporty IMO.

[Jselv]

Black and silver

[Run Silent]

I really like yellow - think it is my favorite, however, the M calipers on the new 3 series are blue, so maybe that might look a bit more OEM? Personally, I did my old vehicle calipers in gloss black and I was quite happy with them. Very understated but looked nice.

One thing to note - under no circumstances paint the brake pads when you do the calipers. I hate that and it makes it look totally rice and like absolute trash.
