can't get the paint and since body shop wouldn't remove calipers
or let my guy do it (warranty concerns) we will match as close as possible.

Get the paint batch and match info from the body shop from thier supplier for the best match. You wont need that much for the caipers. If the current shop has the matching supply. Have them set aside part of the balance to use on the calipers...hell you paid for the paint aleady !

they are funny about that...ONLY a McLaren authorized paint shop
can use the paint......

I also wanted to paint the wheels volcano red..shop said paint woulnt adhere to the wheels properly
so they refused the business.

Be careful with that. Some wraps like to take paint off with them upon removal.

Calipers and wheels are a must to make it complete. Maybe some nice carbon accents

There are alot of shops out there that can refinish the wheels without issue.

Looking good !!
