Painting my 335i rotors... do I go red or BMW blue?
Damnit! Meant calipers!
If anyone has pics of theirs, would love to see. Thanks all!

You may be better using a specialist high melting point paint.

I was just about to ask why rotors... I have seen some green and pick ones in socal, but only on civics.
With black exterior, blue/yellow/teal/red are all fine. I used to get those rattle can paint for the engine bay to expand my options, and they didn't fade at all after a year. |

Both of those, black and red, look great! Does anyone know where I can source new caliper covers?
