What's up everyone!?!? Sorry for not getting back to you guys...had a long weekend!

I was at my brother-in-law's house smoking some good stuff when gave me the idea of painting my calipers red. After finishing our stash I spent the next 3 hours (at 12am on a Friday night) taking off the wheels (which were a B!TCH) and painting each caliper with a brush.

Now...being the fact that I was high as a kite I didn't want to attempt to remove the brake calipers so I painted them while they were still on the rotor. I did tape up the surrounding area and I do believe that I used Duplicolor as the product of choice.

After all was done the calipers are painted and I have to say that it does give the X3 a sportier look. I took it out for a spin and I have to say that I've noticed a lot of folks looking down at my wheels and one person even complimented on how it looked when I stopped at a local mall.

Again the pics are coming! I know Please hang with me!!
