Now that I have my wheels in mat black, I was thinking on painting my OEM brake calipers maybe in bright red like Brembo's red (powder coated) , so if anyone here has painted the factory calipers, please post some pictures for me
thanks in advance

That's one huge brake caliper!

Thanks a lot, they look great but it seems to me those calipers are not the factory one's.....

They are. I think they look different because it is an M. We bought the car new a few months ago and I had a local guy paint the calipers for me.

Got it, I see you have an M car, that explains the size, mine are smaller and ugglier, I'm not sure they will look good, thanks for posting yours!

It's been quite a while since you posted this reply, now I own a 2010 X6M and wanted to paint the calipers in red too.
Did you use powder coat or special temperature paint?
Where did you get the M logo and how is holding up against the high temps?

thanks in advance
