I plan on painting my calipers black or red so I need some ideas and opinions on two things. Firstly I wanted a couple of opinions on whether black or red calipers would look better on a sapphire metallic black vehicle. Next I wanted to know from someone who may have done this in the past a brand of spray that they've tried or heard about which works and doesn't chip or fade after a few months. All opinions on color and brand are welcome!

Do you have a picture of the entire wheel and how it looks and yeah how much was it and where'd you get it from?

ahh yeah ill take some pic tomorrow for you guys, its the carbon fiber vinyl thing that you just wrap it around your brakes and stick it up with some BMW stickers and thats it. I know it hard to say and hard to imagine how to wrap a brake but once you take the rims off, just wrap as much as you can cuz it will never be perfect 100% but trust me, aint no body see the messed-up part. You guys can get the vinyl at autozone or auto advance for 8 bucks i think. Be more creative

i wrap the rear reflector also

and the front emblem ofcourse

Isn't it kinda easier to paint though?

lol i gotta agree. and to the OP, duplicolor seems to have worked well on all my previous cars

Great, anyone suggest which color to go with I'm leaning towards the red, but my bro in law thinks that will look ricey and should do it black so pretty undecided atm.

i was planning on going with red as well because my RPI scoop is red but black might be more suited if u want to go with the blacked out look

How about grey? Anyone tried before? My front splitters and side skirts are grey now...
