    Caliper Paint

    Hi guys,
    It has become time to replace my pads! We bought Zimmermann Pads and I am looking at painting my calipers while we are in there... What are your 2 cents on the best color for titanium silver? Red, black?

    Personally, I prefer the OEM clean look... So I say go gloss black.

    I like this much better myself.....if you're staying with OE calipers then black looks best.

    ... but if you have BMW Performance BBK then it's best to match the rear calipers to the front

  5. I used POR-15, it isn't really caliper paint but it's holding up fine and dries to a glossy strong finish. POR is specifically designed to be used on slightly rusted surfaces, which was the case with my calipers.

    How about G2USA? They seem to have every possible color for caliper paint. The example I have in the link is for Phoenix Yellow, the color of my Performance BBK.

    Caliper Paint

    I've also read good reviews on Dupli-Color BCP401 Yellow Brake Caliper Kit. Amazon has it and other colors.
