I know some people are on their high horses about plasti-dip and painted calipers.... but I think it looks good - these are before and after.

Thanks all for the feedback! I was on the fence at first, but really glad I did it. I think it looks a lot more aggressive than it did before- and the price of everything was very reasonable.

Definitely looks super aggressive and mean, also wheel gap is less noticeable

Black matte on the rims. Not sure the name of the exact color on the calipers.

Great job! Looks amazing! You live in Miami, you don't need to worry about salt and snow eating away at the plastic dip!
I would however have the stock brake pads swapped out.. OEM bimmer pads make quite a bit of brake dust, which is gonna mess up your caliper paint job in a hurry... especially in hot weather, working the brakes hard... it's gonna bake that crap right on that gorgeous shinny blue. |
