My Ride: 2005 545i, Silber-grau/grau. Vanilla flavored except for cold WX pkg.
Search for DIYs replacing brakes. Most posters usually paint the calipers in the last few steps.

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
A lot of us have done a DIY on this. You can either use brush paint or spray paint. Either one needs to be a high temp paint. Any Auto supply store will have this in different colors. I used spray paint for more even application. GL

Just do a search with "caliper" in the DIY section. Don't be lazy next time. Stop and think.
