Blue Caliper Touch up paint options

scotsman335dxDrive · 02-17-2019, 09:10 AM

I was looking for the best option/colour match paint wise to dab onto the chips i made trying to get the rear brake pad pins out.

Apparently it is EB2, but not lacquered

Found the thread, he used a non genuine EB2 touch up that claims to not need lacquer:

I had phoned Eastern BMW and they had no idea at all, surprise surprise. I then enquired about EB and they said £22 and a 2 day wait.

After reading the posts in your links i think i`ll order some EB2 from ebay. Thanks guys.

Monte Carlo Blue is the closest match. EB is close, but MC is closer.

Damn it . EB 2 already ordered.

Will order Monte Carlo Blue and use the EB 2 as an undercoat.
