Thank you for the info! I feel like that may contrast too much as it is just gold, I appreciate the input though.

Select your car, go to see all products and look for it

This looks like it will work, I didn't even think about paintscratch. Awesome! I can get the PY basecoat spray can for $25.00. Thanks!

This is a high temperature caliper paint. A little expensive

Damn Paintscratch looks pretty great, if it's accurate.

You guys vouch for it? Might be the solution for some bad stuff that happened on my car.

 

Are you trying to blend into your car? This is really really difficult to do well if you're trying to spot touch up a panel with an aerosol can. Even pretending the match is perfect, which it won't be due to fading and clearcoat.

Depends how bad your issues are and where they are located. But for me, I've learned that any paint on a visible surface of my car is not something I want to do. I'm sure there are picassos out there that can do better than me though.

 

There is always the BMW Touch Up paint sticks, I have Phoenix Yellow Metallic (Code 445) HERE, but you'd probably need a ton of them to cover the rear calipers. Paintscratch would probably be your best bet as you could order it in a spray can for easy application.

 

Does paintscratch have a hi-temp paint version of Phoenix Yellow? I would love to get my rear calipers painted the same color too. :X

 

Try Express paint . I have found that their paints match perfectly to the oem colors. The paint code is 445 and a spray can of it is $25 also. Here is their link.http://www.expresspaint.com/ Try it. It will be a perfect match.

 

Just to update this thread for anyone with similar questions. I went with expresspaint.com and the match is amazing! I will post some pics whenever I get around to giving my car a bath.

 

Pictures as promised, took them with my bb so they are pretty bad. But you get the idea, brakes were dirty and lighting was weird but a near perfect match in person:

 

oh that's a good match looks good :thumbup:

it never dawned on me that the color they used was Phoenix Yellow for that BMW PERF line of brakes. i must be boring because that seems like such a strange color spectrum to paint their BBK. doesn't excite me for a sport caliper made by brembo.

 

I agree it is a very random color. I assumed they wanted to use a BMW exclusive color. A more vibrant yellow or red would have suited better. But it's different which I like.

 

Looks amazing good sir. I'm about to embark on a similar endeavor myself.
If you still own the car; how did the paint hold up? I was curious about "high temp" paint vs the standard touchup stuff and if this would work alright.
Thanks again
