Calipers

I recently custom painted my calipers. Took a lot of time and with a baby I could only get so much done at a time. What're your thoughts? I was originally going to do red but it's so common I changed decision last minute.

Good choice on not going with red. When I bought my 535xi, the calipers were already painted red. I don't particularly like it, I'm going to repaint them. I was thinking black but I kinda like what you did.

I thought of black as well, but with my calipers showing more I wanted them to be more noticeable
