Default Grinding and painting my calipers

Last weekend I had the urge to do something to the S. I decided to paint my calipers. So I fully removed and disassembled all 4 calipers. Then I ground away all the casting lines and pits. WOW that was a lot more work than I was thinking it was going to be I ended up spending 2-1/2 hours of grinding per caliper. So 4 days later after 10 hours of griding my calipers I can them looking to my satisfaction. Next I applied the G-2 Black caliper paint. I applied 3 coats to each caliper and the total painting time took around 2-1/2 hours total. I also ordered the white "S2000" logo caliper stickers. Well now for the pictures......
