Agreed, nice job on the calipers.

My car is oreint blue, does anyone know if there is a close match to that orient blue for caliper paint?...or would that look funny if they were the same color as the car? I am putting new wheels on this spring, that i have purchased, and im not sure which color would look best.

Thanks!

I picked up some high temp vinyl PORSCHE stickers off ebay for my 944 calipers, you should see if they have some BMW stickers too, as it adds a nice touch to the painted calipers.

Nice job!

Looks good, Ive been thinking about painting mine red or yellow for some time now. But just havent gotten around to it. How long do you need to let it dry for before driving???????

Looks great man....I have been thinking of getting it done, probably RED, but I don't have patience (actually am lazy) I did rather pay to get it done....does any UK member know if any local trade can paint it in Midlands?
