Here you go. Went with Duplicolor Brush on Caliper paint. 3 Coats of paint and 2 coats of clear spray.

Hey Ki11 switch, can you provide a website for the caliper paint?

Hi MiniMouse17,

I bought the caliper paint kit from a local Oreily auto parts store, but you can find the same brush kit at any national autopart store such as autozone.

I'm back!

I couldn't be more excited to be back in the land of Mini! I had a 2006 Cooper S Hardtop until my kids outgrew the car. Well - I'm back baby! Picked up my 2013 Countryman ALL 4 on Wednesday. I couldn't be more thrilled

Great pic. Looks awesome. I'm a first time MINI owner and I'm with you. I couldn't be happier.

I just got the CF overlays from Carbon Mini, those gray scuttles are hideous...

Buddy of mine ordered them on his JCW for me, he had a different set in mind and waiting on him when his car arrived off the boat. WIN WIN for both of us.

Oh yeah Im keeping the fans for winter, they have a brand new set of blizzacks on them. They were amazing in the snow this winter!

How long in total to paint all 4 calipers? And is 3 coats + 2 clear recommended or just something you did?

Hi Bgaurino, I worked each tire on different days. Probably a little bit over an hour per caliper. The more coats the better. Clear was not necessary.
