From M to AMG

I have a white E400 and it looks fine but again lacks some color.

I would just like to have the Calipers painted, but the 2016 E400 is still under warranty.

Can i paint calipers without voiding some part of the warranty?

And, anyone recommend a painter/mechanic that can do the job in the Bay Area, CA?


Thanks!

I don't have a beaver in the car yet I painted mine pink!!

Simple cosmetic changes (painting calipers) would never touch your warranty...just do it right, bad caliper paint jobs are ugly!

Painted stock calipers look wonky. Unless they are big honking brake systems, I would not bother. My opinion for what it's worth.

painted mine in red , and put amg stickers on top. (used G2 paint off ebay) looks better than stock ones , and goes with good with black wheels.
some ppl say it doesnt look good.... but who cares , as long as im happy. even tho they do look a lot better than stock in my opinion.

I painted mine a light gold color and bought new hardware. I think it cleans them up but doesn't have the "in your face" look.
I changed my wheels to a 5 spoke design and like it even more. Just enough.

The center caps are from ECS Tuning. The nice thing about them is they also fit my new wheels.

I experimented with the caliper paint. What I ended up with is I used gold and silver spray paint that I sprayed into a cup then applied to the calipers with a craft brush. I then used black spray paint - again in a cup - and did minor detailing.
The last time I did it I removed the Mercedes plate from the front calipers, cleaned and painted it black then applied a "Mercedes" decal. I also bought new hardware which I coated with a clear rust preventer before installing.
All in all the calipers have been much easier to keep clean. Also, the paint has not been affected by heat.

They look great! How do you keep them so clean with your wheels?

I only take pictures after i wash em. Lol

Jk, the heat resistant top coat makes it so much easier to clean and keep clean mate. Not to mention the extra shine. Cheers!
