Getting Calipers painted!
Can anyone suggest me what is a good paint or spray paint to paint my own calipers?

You can buy high temp caliper paint and do it yourself, also get 4 AMG or Brembo decals apply it to the caliper and spray a layer of clear coat it.
I have heard good things about the G2 paint kits, might wanna give that a try.

Haha. Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are currently getting worked on. I'm getting the lips powdercoated in as close of a color to the center as possible. I was really tired of getting anxiety attacks over each and every little nick and dings on those anodized lips. I also wasn't completely sold on the "polished" lip with dark center look. It should be done by this weekend and then I might have a shoot with a friend's S4 coming sometime next month.

My car is obsidian black so I'm thinking about going with red to play off my tails and give it the P31 look...what other colors do you think pop nicely? I love the yellow you have...was also thinking gold would look nice...and Walter's orange is pretty sick, too...

I agree, the orange on Walters car looks sick!!!
I originally wanted to go with blue (yellow was my second option) but the shop didn't have the shade I was looking for, so im thinking of going with blue later on down the line.

Does the G2 paint come out smooth like it would from a body shop? Im having mine redone 1M Valencia Orange.. I personally love yellow calipers, had them on my Obsidian E55.

If you need the AMG logos for the calipers after you paint them I have them in stock in black, white red or yellow. They are the proper size for the front and rear and I sell them in a set of 4 for $12.00.
I just put them in an envelope and stick them in the mail so there is no shipping to anywhere in the United States.
Set of four- $12.00
