Finally got around to painting my Calipers. I went with black calipers, polished the anti rattle clips and clearcoated. I also painted the rotor hubs silver with clear coat. I think it looks great, no more rust! I will try to get pics later this weekend. Oh ya the 20's are back on as well. I sealed them with Swixvax Autobahn wheel sealer/wax. Hopefully the brake dust will just wash off. I can't wait for low dust aftermarket pads!!

UPDATE: Here are some pics. I used G2 Caliper paint (black) used the brush included in the kit (2 coats), this a 2 part true epoxy the instructions say that you have 4-6 hours working time, but this will start to set up within an hour. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to paint them moving briskly but carefully. After the 2 1/2 hours the epoxy was quite thick and somewhat goopy to work with. Once dried there were no brush strokes and it was glossy deep black. Then I polished the Caliper anti- rattle clips and gave them a brushed look with an abrasive wheel on my dremel, then clear coated them (2 coats). I also painted the rotor hats with VHT Cast Aluminum color caliper paint (2 coats) then gave them 2 clear coats. Overall I am very pleased. I put the X up on jack stands and did them all at once. I made some jack stand adapters and cut some 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 hollow steel bar to fit into the jack points as suggested by fellow X5world brother nynd (thanks). The prep work is what took the most time. Wire brushes, fine grit sandpaper, dremel abrasive disks, drill with wire wheel and nylon flap wheel. It is amazing how quickly these brakes and rotors get rusted and corroded, but with patience they clean up real well. Also just a note the front calipers are cast iron the rears are aluminum and the clips are tin steel.
