yellow with black rims on a w203

 

Ugh, I'm having a serious internal debate with myself over this issue... I really want to paint my calipers red, but my entire car is coming out silver and black. The red caliper is classic, and always stands out though.. and I really am conflicted now with the advice that leaving the taillights red will balance it out.. I was planning on having my tail lights sprayed with blackout at the same time!

Someone help me set my head straight on this one.

 

High metalflake content silver, as a small, but eye-catching accent.

 

I repainted them silver....here are the pics

 

Every instinct has been telling me silver, but everytime I see a red caliper I just like it. Those calipers do look nicie fweiss.

 

bump...anymore pictures from others with painted calipers?

 

 

Mike-You don't count as "painted calipers". You are so far beyond it makes me sick.

 

The only bad part about painting our calipers red is that it shows off how dinky they are otherwise I like the red look but it really only makes my heart skip a beat when they are some beefy red brembos

 

Very nice!

Looks good...Any chips, fading or flaking with the duplicolor so far?

 

I don't think they look THAT small, but NOTHING compares to a set of Brembos.

 

None. I have used the sprays in the past, but this was my first time with the brush-on kit. I painted them almost 2 years ago and they look like the first day.

 

I've been wanting to paint my calipers for years now so i guess it'll be my first thing to do once Spring arrives

 

I have the same kit sitting in the garage just havent come around to it yet. Only have one jack and no stands so I'll have to do one at a time which is whats been putting me off..

 

lol. Ok, how about these. Painted with G2 Caliper paint as I was testing out the white caliper look before pulling the trigger. I actually still have these if anyone is interested in brakes, pads, rotors used for about 1k miles.

 

once i have my OZs on my next big step is to paint my calipers orange/gold like the carbon break package on the sls

 

Where did you find the metallic orange/gold high-temp paint? That will look amazing!

 

I only had one jack too. It didn't take too long and I allowed for drying between coats and followed directions closely.
DO IT!

 

i havent looked around yet, but im going to bring it up with the garage i go to and see if they can help me out

 

Hey guys I just recieved 5 spoke wheels in the mail. Going to put them on my car but first I would like to paint the calipers and get rid of some of the rust from the part behind the caliper (sorry I don't know the correct name for that part).

How can I do this?

I think I am going to go with gray to match the color of the rim. What type of spray paint should I use. Also, is it possible to paint the other part too so it is all gray (I am guessing not!)? Thanks guys! lol..

Sup Guys, some1 needs to create a DIY for painted calipers...I'm considering this as well.
Did you guys remove the calipers or just paint them on the car?

 

1. Clean,Clean,Clean your brakes with Brake Cleaner
2. Masked off the discs, the dust guards and other brake components
3. Slide a piece of paper under the pads
4. Buy an assortment of decent brush from Home Depot/Lowes and take your time applying. Don't use the crappy brush that comes in the kit. The bristles will start to fall out and it will drive you insane
5. Follow directions regarding multiple coats
6. Do not install wheels until paint has set

 

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.
