painted white calipers
Finished with my front calipers, my first choice would have been black, but i wanted to see how white would look. i know it will get dirty way faster then others, however i like the car matched color.
i used engine enamel white, then spray Starfire pearl midcoat, waited 20 minutes to put the decals on, then engine enamel clear.
*everything was perfect except when i put my wheels back on within 1 hour of painting, my fingernail nicked the front caliper* crap like that always happens, b/c i dont have patience to wait, but you cant see unless you really look up close.

I like it a lot. I used to have color matched white Brembo's on my 7 Series. They do get dirty quick, but when they are clean, they look great!

If red, blue, and black are most people favorites, I don't see why they have to be "unique" and skip these colors.
