I guess its a bad idea then. heh. Too many votes that say either don't do it or pick another color equals ........... stay away from red.

Paint it whatever you want. In this case Red. Try it out for a week or so, don't like it change the color.

I dont like painted oem brake calipers.
It just highlights the fact that you have oem brakes.
Leave them as is or upgrade your brakes.

red would look okay but if you dont want that "look" they are talking about i wouldnt.

Dont ever do yellow, that would look like shit. Silver or black. Maybe black with red BMW letters?!?!? I think some red on them would look good because it would tie in the red in the tails. just my opinion. Im going to paint my black with white bmw letters. I dont know when but its in the plans.

The G2 kit is good product. I had mine painted in black last summer and love the different look.

I have been debating the painting of my calipers with a G2 kit of RED caliper paint I have had in my living room for the past 2 months now. I just can't decide whether or not I should do it. Here is a picture of the car in it's current state:




Yes or No? If no, why?
