| Hamann FTW. Looks good, 10th-ish pic looks like the rotor got a good layer of the paint as well though. |

i fogot the name of the paint, but i bought it from part source and it's for brake calipers.
ya. that's proper and better way of painting.
i was just being lazy. lol and took me long enough time. |

um... that's not brake line. it's sensor for brake pads wearing down. |

I was picking up a bunch of stuff downtown so I was driving my Explorer. If I was in the BMW you would have noticed, because you were stuck in traffic heading north and I was stuck heading south (I think it was on 102 street) and we were side by side on the inside lanes. lol Friday May 26th around 4:30pm I think.
I'd like to take a closer look at yours too so wave me down if you ever see me and I'll do the same. :beer: |

OOoops, my mistake.
Can you help me out?
What's the stuff you painted in the yellow squares? And the green square?

red -> brake sensor
yellow -> metal piece that covers rotor
green -> hm.... i'm not sure. :confused: i have to take a closer look at them. |

why you guys think i'm wrecking it? :dunno:
i already have checked it(just in case) with my mechnic and he even said it's fine.
course, right after painted, it sounded little rough for couple braking, but then paint on rotor flaked off and there is nothing wrong with my brakes now and no paint. ;) |

That's cool then. My garage floor is multi-coloured as well :)
(But, you didn't do a good job of covering your garage floor, you can clearly see the silver paint all over the ground!) |
