Looks amazing! How long did you have to keep your car out of action to let the paint dry? Can I pay you to do mine? haha

Sorry guys. Havent check this post in a bit.

Paint doesn't take long to dry. Done and rolling in the same afternoon.

I actually found a guy that did the paint/prep work for me. I've done this before on other cars i've owned and its a major pain in the ass to do.

He's out in the Lakewood/Log beach area. If interest PM and i can get you his info.

Caliper Paint

Check out raulgcustom.com. He has done multiple sets of headlights and calipers for me and my friends. His work is flawless! I guarantee you will be happy. You can look at his website or check him out on Facebook.

He did not take the brake pads out or mask them.... That would bug the crap out of me, especially on the rears.

The rest looks good.

Thanks to Drizel, I had the the brakes painted yellow by him to match my yellow Z4 on Fri.. A good 5-hour job. Turned out beautifully. I will post pics when I get a chance and figure how to do it.

Saw the pics on Instagram. Turned out great! Isn't he a cool guy to chill with too? Can't beat having a beer in the "waiting" room either. Haha
