Brake caliper scratched up...options to repair/repaint???
Just noticed my right front caliper is scratched on my new M5 Comp...car has 800 miles. Could have been done in theory during PDI or by my shop that did the H&R spring install. Either way, I don't know who did it and just noticed the issue.
Anyone know if these can be repainted? If so, how do I get the "M" emblem back on there?

Where did you get the emblem...local BMW dealer parts department? How do I find the color code for the caliper?

good luck finding the color. i had the f90 wheel off yesterday, and i noticed the caliper is barely clearocated. it's not shiny, if at all. i'd suggest powder coating the caliper to withstand the heat btw.

most of the companies who do this type of work paint these calipers, you will also likely have much easier time matching the color with paint vs powder-coat.. that is if you want to retain factory color.
