Painted Calipers - Express Yourself !

[idej_z4]

I went with the Carbon colour and did the rusty hubs too. Was going to do a colour like red or blue but then someone said why would you want to detract from your alloys - they are the show piece, and with 19inch CSL replicas I agreed. Carbon colour is very subtle but looks classy when you get close (plus you don't have to do loads of layers to get proper coverage).

Just put 3.0l rears on my 2.5l and overhauled calipers to match the fronts.

Seems that blue is the new red.

Gave mine a refresh today
OEM BMW calipers sure aint the best looking of things but at least with a coat of paint (or two ) they look presentable

Looking good. Agree they're not the best looking. Was wondering if there are any others that would fit, but perform and look better...350z/sti/etc

Painted mine copper. The picture doesnt make it look right but you get the idea. I like it, it goes well with the turn indicators.

Sorry for the dirty car, drove through something like "The day after tomorrow" yesterday...
