I love my B40 - Liquid Blue Metallic

Post photos of Tanzanite Blue 2 BMWs. This color fascinates me, but I hear it only looks good in sunlight and after a carwash when the car is clean.

There are lots of Tanzanite photos on this site already. Please see:

If you'd like to see more, you could certainly ask owners of those vehicles to share more pictures.

See here:

The coating used at the BMW M caliper has an oxidation as a base layer and on top a liquid paint. This paint can change its color if it is being confronted with higher temperatures. The paint code is GOLD 1PR (no correspondence to Pantone references etc..).

Unfortunately the paint code GOLD 1PR does not provide us more information if it only used internally by Brembo.

On their website are also 5 reasons why not to use repainted calipers:
