Painted Calipers

jetvet · 02-17-2015, 09:27 AM

Finally got my calipers back from the shop and had a chance to put the fronts on. Very pleased with how they turned out!

Done the right way, nice!

Bdifferent · 02-17-2015, 10:04 AM

Those are nice.

fastaction · 02-17-2015, 10:07 AM

I would have smoothed out the casting lines before painting

e90Nate · 02-17-2015, 10:40 AM

damn that looks good, i need to do this.

Conti. · 02-17-2015, 10:43 AM

Those came out awesome!! Now post some more pics of them installed

bimmette · 02-17-2015, 11:10 AM

That looks great! Nice color! More pics from a distance please!

SUHleen · 02-17-2015, 11:19 AM

I love the blue and the paint looks PERFECT! My one pet peeve, what fastaction said below! I did that when I painted mine and it made them look a tad bit cleaner. Still though, bad ass!

Thanks, guys. Yeah I forgot to mention they are actually powder coated and not painted. I agree though, sanding them some would have made them look a little cleaner.

Will do! Still need to get the rears rebuilt and installed then bleed them all.

Yeah they chemically stripped the paint then sand blasted them. They did a coat of metallic silver then a color called candy blue on top of that.

LaxIan55 · 02-17-2015, 09:13 PM

I have been thinking about doing mine blue. Love the way they came out, good work.

Eagle1oh7 · 02-17-2015, 11:58 PM

I would have avoided the "BMW" or go with a smaller font. Love the blue though!

notnow · 02-18-2015, 12:16 AM

Looks extremely good, how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking?

Alen E90 · 02-18-2015, 01:56 AM

looks good

waterbottle1 · 02-18-2015, 02:01 AM

do it once, do it right. OMFG

JRV-F82-M4 · 02-18-2015, 05:16 AM

Those look great! So many questions....Where did you have them done? How much did they charge you? Do you know what color selection they carry, I am looking for red? What color is your car?

Underground6t9 · 02-18-2015, 08:33 AM

I have done that ony S4 and I will say its not worth the cost. I rather just rattle can calipers way less expensive. Don't get me wrong they look great powder coated but too much money.
