Followed Suit...Blue M Calipers!
Have to give props to other members for forging the way and for all the input I received on doing these calipers. All in all not a terribly difficult thing to do. Did it this afternoon in my garage. Turned out pretty damn good IMHO!
In case you guys are wondering.... -Used VHT Caliper Degreaser, Bright Blue Caliper Paint, and Caliper Clear Coat. -Vinyl M decals came off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/260996254883...84.m1497.l2649

Most of it is prep work. To me taping off properly and covering the car to avoid over spray is most important part. After that it's just dry time between coats. Did 2 of color and 2 clear with 20 min between each.

That's how I feel too!! I'd rather pay someone else to do it for me, I've been known to botch an otherwise simple task.

Looks super clean. I'm thinking about doing it. Did you purposely choose a darker blue than the M5 calipers?

Wow Bud you have done this sooooo well. I'm amazed at the thoroughness in your prep work to ensure no overspray. Totally professional for a DYI. How the hell did you get between the brake housing and the rotors?

Came out hot. Cleans up the oem calipers real good before they start to look rusty.
It took me about 2 hours all around but I was hauling ass trying to install a bunch of stuff at the same time Alan
