I've had my black '05 545 sport for about a month now and I want to do something to it. I really like red brake calipers, and I think it'd look good w/ the jet black. I've seen a few of you on here that have painted brake calipers but I didn't see a topic about it.

1) Should I have them powdercoated or is the DIY kind okay?
(DIY link: Red Brake Caliper Paint)

Will the paint chip or get really dirty? Will high-gloss paint still look good after a while? How would powdercoated look?

Is this something that someone that knows nothing about cars can do themselves?

Do I have anymore questions? I think no. For now.

I photoshopped the image from this gallery to see what it would look like and here it is.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT REAL....PHOTOSHOP


Thanks,

The caliper paint is a high temp paint that should not fade or chip unless physically hit by rocks or whatever. The DIY paint works pretty good. A lot of my friends by it and do it themselves and it looks good. Tha t is my next plan when I remove my winter wheels for Summer.

While it does look good, I'd just get a bbk or leave it stock.
