This is everything I bought:

1 Duplicolor kit (black) $20.00
1 BMW Caliper sticker kit from Sticker Culture (Ebay) $6.00

Because I don't have a floor jack, I did one wheel at a time. It took me about 2-2 1/2 hours to do. I did 3 coats. The kit was very generous on paint. It also came with cleaner and masking tape! Too easy. This was one of the cheapest upgrades I could do.

Thanks again for all the

I gotta do this. I am tired of looking at those rusty bits as well. I have an alpine white E60. I am deciding between black or silver caliper paint.

Where did you buy a kit for 20 bucks from?!? I was expecting it to cost more if that's the case I'm doing this one ASAP!
