Default Thoughts?
I mentioned previously that I wanted to get my calipers sprayed....I originally was thinking of getting them sprayed red because I thought it would match nice to the "supercharge" red area but now I'm thinking red would look weird on this particular car.

SO has his sprayed red on his car and it definitely looks good...but then again its a much sportier car.

Now I'm thinking that maybe I'll have them sprayed black.

Thoughts???

I was looking into this and was quoted $800. I think with powder coating you'll have to take the whole thing apart and there were a few spare parts one needs to put it back together.

I would have gone with Lambo-orange...

I can get the powder coat for cheaper, I'll see...

I don't want orange cause I hate the color combo of black and orange together...

AudiR8A7: I thought your A7 is leased (correct me if I'm wrong), so if you paint it, wouldn't it violate the lease or have some penalty at the end of lease?

It is leased, I asked my dealer and he said no (he is a friend of mine).
