Before/After - Vinyl Wrap

Just thought I'd share a couple before and after pictures of my 2018 750 - original color was glacier silver metallic - went with Siberian Pearl White wrap from KPMF with a blackout package - essentially wrapping all the chrome parts in satin black - had the calipers powder coated blue.

Just under $5k out the door, done by a high end custom auto shop in Charlotte NC, small price to pay IMO

Close shits if the calipers?
Did you have to undo the pistons for the powder coat or used covers?

I'm not sure what you are asking me but here's a better pic of the calipers. I had them painted previously but having them powder coated is a substantial difference looks wise.

Did you have to disassemble the caliper for the powder coating or did the shop keep it intact?

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure, my thinking is yes they disassembled everything, from the pictures I've seen during the work being completed it appeared to be fully taken apart but don't hold me to it. My apologies, I'm not the type who can work on a car so I just seek out the best and have them do it properly.

Very cool, I had Bosworth Customs due the Vinyl Wrap and Calipers and Dynamic Auto Tune - who I fully recommend installed the Dinan V2 Elite and Dinan free flow exhaust - links below:
