has anyone painted the back calipers too? I'm not sure if it would look right since they are so much smaller.

Mine's black. Looks just fine - a bit stealthy if you'd like. I don't like my caliper popping out, since it's kinda small. And black makes it looks cleaner too.

not a bad idea. I was gonna do the front in orange or lime green to make it pop but I thought it would look weird with the back still being that stock silver/gray.

can you post pics? I think I'm gonna go lime green, although I just saw a nasty looking teal at auto zone. I'm think black for the back now but if it looks right on yours I might do the back in color too

I have AMG logo stickers for the calipers in the proper sizes for front and rear if anyone is painting or powdercoating there calipers. I have them available in yellow, white, red and black.

$12.00/set

These stickers are sized for AMG cars but would work on all the Mercedes non-floating calipers. They won't work on the floating style calipers (the ones that look open). They are only $12.00 for the set of four and I just stick them in an envelope and throw them in the mail so there's no shipping either.
