i think it was on this forum, someone have a pic of their blue painted calipers with a "BMW" caliper sticker on it. does anyone know where i can get these stickers and blue paint?

maybe i should have asked this first.....is it even worth painting the calipers and how hard is it?

Caliper paint...just get some blue VHT high temp engine emamel, take the rim off, and spray away. Mask the rotor if you can, do it in a few coats. Great stuff. Very easy to do, the VHT engine enamel is high temp paint so will last a long time. Far as the stickers.....seen them sold on Ebay. I bet a graphic shop can crap you out a few good 3M emblem ones for cheap and some replacements. Hope this helps. You can paint all the calipers in under one hour. I painted mine when I swapped out the stock rims for the ones I have now. Hope this helps.[;)]

Yes...do not waste money on caliper paint as it is more expensive....go to any auto parts store, ask for some high temp blue VHT engine enamel. It is in stock almost everywhere. Works good, dries fast. Make sure caliper is clean first.

1. jack and remove tire
2. mask off as much as you can behind caliper and over rotor
3. spray a few coats as to prevent drips.
4. inspect and make sure looks good to you.
5. put rim back on, repeat for each caliper

You can do it little by little.

All you need is your jack, and a few paper towels.[;)]
