I'm using paint from a tin not the traditional spray paint approach.
A bit more time consuming, but hopefully manage to get all areas and no need to do so much masking off of areas.

£4 for a set of 4. 2 larger ones and 2 smaller ones. But I'm only going to put on front Calipers. Paint was from a company called Foliatec. I think it's a German company but bought it off amazon. You get cleaner, paint and hardener. Also a wire brush, gloves and mixing stick for £27. Then I bought a seperate can of clear coat VHT for £8

@Hasser, I am looking to get this done on my F10, I'm liking what you did there. Just a question, why get the separate can of clear coat? Just for the additional protection and more gloss? I am trying to find the right stuff. I already bought the RS Blue...
Looking for the decals now..

but there is plenty on the site. the clear coat also gives paint protection and a good high gloss finish as well as sealing over the decal
