As you wish, done on the second day

The best part: its plasti-dipped so can be undo - changed color in minutes.

Did you do any prep to the brace before you painted it?

It is the gloss version of plasti-dip, just like regular paint.

Not extremely loud but very distinctive and clear, especially at wot, which I prefer. Dont want the bimmer sounds like a racer.

Not at all, just alcohol wipe clean. It is a good thing with plasti dip. And if you stuffed up, just peel it off and redo again.
