Show me your painted brake calipers

Considering painting my brake calibers, show me yours!

Stock painted brakes look crappy imo. Expensive but get some damn brembo's on there!

Nitro, try searching the forum up. There's a few threads with pics of OEM and BBK examples

I went with gold calipers against the white paint. What ever color you do, I recommend high temp spray paint (not brush) and then after they dry - CLEAR COAT THEM!

I've been looking to repaint my calipers. I might just redo them in black then clear coat them and see how that turns out.

You know the old saying of lipstick and a pig?

OEM brakes are ugly.

Wow those 359s are shiny, re sprayed with different colour? Nice!

Did you end up purchasing an E90?

Not yet, just trying to get all my ducks in a row when I do.

The only time brakes should be a color is when they're glowing orange!

The previous owner did it. I think they look like black chrome? I'm assuming they were black from the factory....?

Thanks!
