That was a work in progress during the first of tow or three coats. Actually looks great now.

This was the paint from the eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILVER-E...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Same stuff I used on ours except I removed the calipers from the brackets and the brackets from the car and cleaned and painted them off the car.

That E-Tech stuff is really good in my opinion. Worked a treat on mine! (I did mine red) . The little brace(?) piece I used the E-Tech black. then I used my vinyl cutter to make the BMW lettering, stuck them on, then lacquered over to finish
(Excuse the dirt, it's the only close up I have on my phone)

Think I'll replace the clips with new ones as they're cheap enough.

You missed spending loads of cash to get a man to do things you could do yourself oke:

 

[skelters]

No pics yet as the car needs washed.

Total cost was £65.09. That's a bargain in my eyes.

Are you adding botch job caliper painting by masking up rather than taking them off to do the job properly to your ‘hate list’...... oke:

Do you have a link or part number for the clips.
