Z4M Brake Caliper Plastidip - Red

[PLV]

Hi all...

Ok, so another mod I was thinking of doing that I finally did once I had the right jack... :=):

I know red calipers are not to everyone's taste... but I thought I would give it a try...

Before shot (yes I know the plastidip on the wheels needs some fixing)... but look past that...

I gave the caliper a proper clean using the cleaning stuff that comes with plastidip...

I then used gladwrap to seal off the disc and surrounds, and put a garbage bag on the floor to pick up the over spray...

This is the work in progress... I did around 5 layers in total, with about 20-30 minutes between each spray...

And the final look.... not too bad, I think....

Next up - to redo the wheels properly... either a matte black again, or probably the better looking gun metal type look... some of the guys on the forum have really got that looking great! So I shall replicate!

:ty:

Mooi Pete, but please, no matte black on the wheels. Gunmetal yes.

Will let you guys know how long it lasts! I have heard mixed reviews with this - some saying it didn't last too long, others that have had better luck.

Time will tell!

Here's an updated pic... :=):

Its easier to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission. This motto in my life has brought many a good and bad situation though.

Use with care. LOL!

The red looks good and +1 on the gun metal.

The red calipers look great. I think gun metal wheels will be better than matte black
