Thanks guys. I decided to place the sticker with the M pointed down. I've seen it both ways- I've also seen the f10 m5 with the front caliper m sticker pointed up and down.

I painted my stock calipers on the car, just taped everything around and then a plastic sheet to drape up around the fender and over the corner I was working on. It came out great, and there wasn't any spot I couldn't get to that can be seen. I also painted the silver piece behind the rotor using the same method.

I managed to get the front installed. Overall im satisfied with the paint. For $6/can of duplicolor primer, caliper paint, clear coat, cant really complain.
I bled the front brakes only since they were what I worked on, passenger side first- the brake pedal is touching the floor. Probably air in the system.
