Final tape off and completed paint, car should be reassembled by Wednesday or so. Probably will have to let the paint cure on the calipers for another few weeks before having them put on but I think everything looks markedly better without the rock chips and wear from over the years.

Well done, this is a quality job.
Looking good!
Finished product, I'll have some better pictures once I get the car back and do a spring clay/wax on the rest of the car and mount the CHs back on it:

Went and got the car from my brother in Louisville yesterday morning. Today I washed the entire car, clay bar from the front doors back, waxed the entire car, removed the 135s (cleaned them for storage), wiped down the brakes and suspension components, waxed the CHs and mounted them, light interior cleaning, and a quick test drive. Installed a CF cabin filter cover as well that I scooped up over winter. The car is ready to go. Now, on to the 135i rear brake upgrade along with doing all the rear end bushings.
