nice job...one question though...when you painted the calipers, did you loosen them and cover the break pads or just covered up and taped up as much as possible and then just spray painted? Thanks

Looks good! If it were me I wouldn't of painted the pads or the clips, but overall they look good none the less. Engine cover too!

In the Spring I'm going to paint my brake calipers Alpine White to match the car. I've never seen it done, it will be a subtle difference but I think it will look good, I wonder if there are any pics out there ??

i thought your engine bay looked good before you painted it. 
how do you guys get on when its time to sell? do you put all back to standard?
i would run a mile if i looked under the bonnet and saw a painted engine, it smacks of boy racer to me.
but good luck to you, its individual and thats all that counts.
im just too old and boring.
