Does anyone know if there is a paint code for the silver / gray calipers?

Has anyone found a good match assuming not?

I was thinking Porsche GT Silver or Nardo Grey might be close if nothing else. It’s slightly metallic though but much lighter than Ferric Grey II or Space Grey. Maybe Silver Grey A08 but it’s colder.

If you bring the wheel to a paint shop they'll have a camera system that'll be able to id the correct color for you and give you a paint code and mix up the paint on the spot for you. This is what I did for my brake calipers (they were able to bring the camera out to the parking lot).


However, note: if you get a single stage touch up paint with the clear coat mixed in, it will not be a perfect match - my touch up paint was slightly darker. The shop advised me that to get a perfect match I would need a multi stage paint.

Yeah it's the caliper, I chipped a bit of the paint at the pins swapping pads. I know there is no known code for the gold CCB calipers, but haven't seen much on the silver/gray ones. The caliper paint actually looks single stage as it is, it's not super glossy and has a bit of a texture.

I'd email Brembo about it, perhaps they might even supply you w/ a touch up kit. You'll probably cook regular touch up paint into some unrecognizeable color if you get on the brakes hard enough to heat them. keep us updated - I have a few small chips from rocks at the leading edges.

Following, mine is chipped up in some area's also, mainly the front calipers.

Not overly concerned but would be nice to know the paint code if there is one for future reference.

There is no paint code for the Anthracite calipers, as it's a Brembo internal paint color made specifically for BMW (it's unlike any other caliper color that Brembo offers), and they don't share their info. Same with the red, and the blue. All of them are bespoke colors set by BMW and have no codes.

Your best bet on a match is to take it to a body shop and have it scanned.
