Only had time to do one.....spray painted by high heat paint.
Cut out the word 'BMW' in negative on a sticker and stick it to caliper...secure surrounding areas well. Spray......... First attempt....not as perfect as I want it to be....if you look close....the next 3 wheels will be perfect...
The 'BMW' is straight....that area of the caliper surface is uneven. The back should be better.

Looks really good, Ive been wanting to paint my calipers forever but I'm just to lazy to do it. and the BMW logo looks awesome. I think I may bite off your idea if you dont mind that is.
