Did two more wheels today....enclosed pics. Turned out far better.
Ensure the negative sticker gets a good 'rub down' to ensure the edges are clean. Secure surrounding areas well...you do not want microscopic white paint to get on your car.

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.

Roy, the BMW logo looks awesome. I was too lazy to took the wheels off and spray on the logos. I guess I will just use the silver hi temp brembo stickers I purchased. In addition, the spokes on my 172s are too busy to see the calipers clearly.

I received the P21S was today. Let me know when should we do the detailing.

Kevin

Looks bad ass! That's exactly what i want to do to mine! But i was think Gray BMW instead of white.
i was thinkingh of doing that since my car is TITAN II, but i doubt it ll look as good as white
im also concerned that white will get dirty easily
