  4. Nice. Need some pics with everything put back together. Did you paint all four at once or in pairs?

    I bought the Por15 caliper paint in energetic yellow for mine. Haven't had time to paint mine, yet. Did you paint the outside of you pads, too?

    I paint with small nice soft brush from Michaels ,lift a car of ground , take off all wheels , work around nice and easy in a garage you need about 65-70 F to have a good job .I paint each caliper when was dry to tach more light coats better job don’t put a lot of paint at once never going to stick well is a time consuming job about 4 hr. But Is worth looks great with black wheels.I did blue on i3 stick well for 4 years than I did some tuch up after 4 years .The most important is temperature 70F. If you have no garage wait to summer clean calipers with lacquer cleaner and dry them and paint. A tip / from spray can I spray paint to small container like metal tuna can use a brash . Spraying from can directly is a lot of work to put a masking tape on every thing and to me is not worth .

    The Revolite wheels are so many spokes you can see really only outside in day time

    Always good to see more energetic yellow on the car. If you do really want stock Mini mudflaps, the standard F56 Mini ones fit right on there with no modifications.yours look a bit longer than the stoc ones though so should offer more protection.
