What's the paint code for touch-up paint on our blue calipers... ?
Simply wanted to know if any of you had a paint code and/or BMW part # for the correct color paint to touch any small nicks / scratches on our blue factory calipers... ?
Soon I will be installing the 6-piston OEM Brembo front brakes from the F90 M5, F95 X5 M & G80 M3 (yes they all use the same calipers - believe it or not) & my brand new units have some very minor spots that need to be properly touched up. THANK YOU in advance... !

The exact paint code seems to be an in house color at Brembo, but the closest BMW match seems to be Monte Carlo blue, paint code B05.

I'll order a touch of this & see how closely it blends. Greatly appreciate the help here!

This is an old thread (2018), but gives you some photos of the various BMW Blues and how they compare...

Sound excellent & definitely let us know how close of a match this is. I'm assuming we can but this MCB directly from BMW... If so, do you have an official part # for this... ? Just curious!

They have pens, small bottles, rattle cans, etc... Just pick the color (B05) and then what type of container/method you want. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/to...18/all-models/

Replaced my rotors and pads this weekend and had a couple of places that needed touched up... The MCB is a PERFECT MATCH on my fronts, but way too dark on the rears, and of course the biggest area that needed a touch-up was on one of the rears. Maybe Brembo doesn't have very good control over their color recipe, or maybe it's just my X4MC that front and rears are different colors, but kind of bummed about this. The search continues.

Was wondering if it wouldn't make sense to have the rougher ones on the rear painted in MCB and the ones in front in Estoril Blue (which is darker) ?
