Thinking of getting the brake calipers painted on my white e89 35i.

Was thinking about the usual red but would be good to see what you have done with yours.

Thanks Gaffa although there is no great rush. I’m not going to be doing anything till the new year. Just getting ideas for now.

I’ve just got my track bike where I need it to be so attention is turning to the car now.

Well, if you don't like it, you can always re-spray it. :thumbsup:

It's unusual, but it looks good as it is.
