Here are some pics of my painted calipers! I used G2 two stage caliper paint. If I don't like them, I'll repaint them at another time, just figured I'd try something crazy: Orange! The pics make them look red, but they're actually closer to Hemi Orange BTW: I've since cleaned off the paint from the top left caliper....

Not on yet.... I'm waiting to put the new rotors/brake lines/calipers on when I get my ABS module back...

haha, yeah, I thought so too. the guy on Ebay had a no reserve auction, and the winner would either recieve: orange, black, silver, or red. I lucked out and got the one color I didn't want! I only paid $12 for a $45 paint kit, so I'm not at all upset!

Ahh.... nice.

When will that be?

Within the next 6 days hopefully.

BTW. I would absolutely recommend G2 paint if anyone else is thinking of painting their calipers. This stuff rocks, it takes two coats and it looks/feels proffesional! I'm thinking of doing the intake manifold on my e30 with this stuff (probably not orange though...to muscle car-ish)

From what I've heard you've got a hemi anyways, BMW's been building hemispherical heads for years.

Looking forward to seeing them on the car!

I can't wait, I've had them sitting next to my bed for the last week and half...

Thanks, "cute" and "calipers" are rarely used in the same sentence! The first pic is w/o flash, I live in an attic so no overhead lights, maybe I'll take some more pics downstairs and post em.
