Can’t believe no one on here has not painted their calipers. Was just looking close up pics to see the finish etc. But I guess we’re all shy!

She was asleep in the garage didn't want to wake her!! I went with the anthracite as I didn't want the AMG red as she's not an AMG albeit Mercedes call it the AMG line. I just HATE the terrible finish Mercedes put on their callipers, you'd think by the 21st century they'd realise they could make more profit by offering a "finish" on these components or include such like in one of their many packages ahh well we live in hope!!!

Beautiful wheels, very envious. I would have gone red for the calipers.
