Brake calipers finally painted

I finally got around to having my calipers painted with the G2 paint kit by my local Autobody shop. I think they came out really well. They said having a lift really helps but isn't a necessity. I went with their standard blue which I think closely matches the M-Sport blue color. They also sanded the rust of the rotors and painted them a nice mat black. Let me know what you think.

Nice work!

By any chance, do you know what paint was used by the shop: brand, specifications?

Nice! G2 Caliper Paint is great stuff!

FYI- it appears like your brake caliper decals still have the top cellophane layer on them. You are supposed to peel it of slowly at a 45 degree angle leaving just the decal.

If it starts coming off onto the cellophane don't panic. Just reverse and rub the cellophane with your fingernail all over that part of the decal to get it to stick to the caliper. Then continue peeling.
