Say if I'd accidentally spray paint on the brake discs (rotors?), does it go away at the first serious brake ? Because I saw some overspray on your discs and then in the next picture it seems completely gone
Thanks for the answer

Here is a quote from my original post:
"You'll see a hydraulic jack under the car not to worry it's not supporting the car just there as a precaution up against a control arm slightly touching it."

By the way, to pain the while caliber, would you recommend using a brush vs. spray? I am also concerned I have to swing up the caliber and remove the pads first for better access to all caliber surfaces. Your thoughts?
Thanks!

Nice job 
. I dont have that problem...yet...but I think I am going to do the calipers when I get my rims. I work in Riverdale by the way. It's such a nice area.

My local body shop wants $200 to professionally clean and repaint the base of the rotors high gloss black and the calipers red. Is that a fair shake?
Also, will they do the job you feel is right?

you guys just need 545i/550 brakes. Alumiumn rotor hat means no rust and you can polish it like I did along with the caliper.
