Some quick pictures:
Final coat on the FR caliper
I cleaned up the rusted area on the front rotors and threw a coat on.
And painted the clips. I should not have painted the clips. They look ridiculous.

Thanks for the tips! I started doing the cleaning process but decided I'll probably save it for when I need to flush the brake fluid and I'll just take off all the calipers and do it while they're free. That way I can be more thorough.
Any pics of the finished product?
EDIT: god dammit, you beat me to it again with the pics

Haha! Definitely do it with the calipers off if you can. I was able to get pretty good coverage on the fronts, but the rear brake line is shorter and didn't allow me to get the back of the caliper prepped. I wasn't too worried, though, since it was the front side of the calipers that were corroded all to hell.Originally Posted by BMWCurves

I'm giving it some time to cure and will be putting everything back together this weekend. I'll do my usual photogrid with before/after and maybe a BAM thrown in.

I'd be interested in that (i think it'd tie in nicely with the yellow fogs and high beams reflector bowls once I paint them).

Okay. I'll talk to my folks and see if they can find it and package it up. I'm trying to remember if I used any of the materials from when I was prepping my brake calipers but I can't remember. I'll find out soon.

Pretty decent before/after with the G2 paint
Nice and subtle. Exactly what I was looking for.
