Well done indeed. I can't fathom attempting something like this, looks professional.

Love everthing but I feel your wheels need to be a different color now. Something about there being no silver/chrome (other than the badge) clashes between wheel and body now (IMHO)

I agree with you statement, I am hoping it'll grow on me otherwise I'll be looking for a set of darker wheels.It looks a lot better in pictures than it does in real life.

To be honest I don't know where, I just asked one of my friends if I could borrow a can of his paint. I'll find out.

I've been contemplating doing this but I get hung up on how to wrap the fin. I know it sounds silly but I thought it'd be weird to have a non-matching fin.

Thanks, yeah it was really easy and it was my first time painting calipers. Just remove the caliper, pads and pins. Tape off the pistons and gasket. Sand it down a bit and start painting.
Where do I get this paint to diy? and thebrembo logos? please thnx

It's easy, I just removed the fin and then wrapped it with a seem on the back side and it's unnoticeable unless you point it out or look at it closely.

Brembo decals came from ebay, the paint I have no idea, I took a can from my friend, he custom ordered i. I'll get the name.
