My Ride: 2013 M5 - Sakhir Orange / Black Leather.
Looks great. I'd like to do it, but am nervous it won't hold up in the north with salt on the roads. Anyone have experience painting their calipers in a cold climate like Pittsburgh?

Took me 1- 1 1/2 Hrs per wheel. Cleaning the caliper with solvent before painting(brush) and masking the rotor, took approx. 20 min.
Curing time was 24 hrs :'( . Just waiting for Tony's decal to arrive .
