Looks nice. I think I preferred the shade of gray you used last time, but this looks good too.

What width rims are those in the front? 9.5"? Is it the just the picture or does your tire looked stretched?

Did you paint the outer edge of the rotor silver also? I was thinking of painting mine black in the spring.

Thanks,
Mike

I just used krylon paint......and then I used krylon clear coat over the paint....the finish is as smooth as the paint on the car ....they stay much cleaner too...........just use many light coats especialy with the clear....you dont have to go heavey on the paint.....just the clear coat....I also painted the rotor vents and the rotor hubs . This gives it a clean fresh look

Is it a spray or did you use a brush? What is the color of the krylon paint you used, and where can it be bought?

How did you get the AMG lettering so perfect, is it a sticker?

Those are caliper decals......once the caliper is painted you put them on, and finally spray the caliper with a clear coat....this way they are protected and wont chip or peal.

Looks nice though i am leaning towards red calipers with white lettering since it'll stand out much more ??? But it's nice to see another option instead of red !!! Thanks for sharing
