Painted Calipers

This is my latest mod, I know you can go either way with this but after the amount of work I think they turned out pretty good. I used the G2 kit with the brush. The only thing i would do different next time is spray it on I think you would get a more uniform coat..

Looks good, not a huge fan of the BMW logo but good work

Tks man yea I'm not to sure yet about the logo myself its a sticker easily removeable.......

Yeah, I was going to spray paint mine originally, but ended up brushing it on. The brush supplied with the G2 kit sucks, I picked up a couple of brushes in different widths at the local arts&crafts store.

Looks like you did a great job, but if you just used font that more closely matched the BMW font for the lettering it would look better - the "B" especially. The letters are a bit far apart too.
