Hi, I'm looking for paint for my M brakes.
I found these two variants :Number 2162 and number 2196 (From picture)

Which is better for M brakes?

2162 imho is closest to the M Sport calipers on the G30, if that's what you're asking.

I don't know why there are different shades of blue in those photos, and it's the same code

Look on this 2 photos
First is Code 2162 second is 2196
According to these photos is closer to code 2196 or? I am confused

The 2196 is metallic and has that flake detail. The other one is just glossy flat blue.

So,I painted it with Code 2162
This is what it looks like.it's very similar to the original color.

Colour code B45, called estoril blue II. It's insanely close to actual M caliper colour (which only has a internal BMW colour).
To save a few extra quid and convenience, estoril blue II is available off the shelf; Hycote brand and Halfords own label (UK) Only £7.

It blends in extremely well with existing colour. See my calipers below.
Im just a guy with a bin bag and a roll of masking tape. Only thing I'd painted before this were the walls in my house.
