This topic is meant to post a picture (or more of them) of
your painted calipers 
. It is desirable for a large portion of the car to be seen so one can see how a particular caliper color matches the rim and the car.
I won't start with pictures because my calipers aren't painted yet
If such topic already exists, please delete this one and point me to the other one

How do these look? One of my 1st jobs when I got the car as the rusty looking original calipers spoiled the look of the car in my opinion.

Great idea for a thread... can I ask a tangential question and ask for more associated photos... does anyone have any other bits of the car that they paint to match the calipers? For example on an E85 / E86 I would be tempted to paint the strut behind the grill to match the calipers, if I were to paint the calipers.
And another question... can we see photos of red calipers on an car with red seats... red would be my go-to caliper colour on a black car, but will it clash with the red leather on the seats?

Was sort of forced into red on mine as I went with a red Brembo caliper at the front. Quite like it, but the red shows the brake dust super easily!
Here is a smattering of photos in no particular order!

I had mine nicely finished by fellow forum member Zedebee when I purchased the car, but a stuck front caliper meant replacing which resulted in a new paint job.
Opted for a light matte grey this time.. not the neatest of finishes as was done by hand but happy with the outcome.
