I guess I'm more of a stealth type of guy. I painted my Koni's black and the Stoptech's on order are coming black too. Why? The stock ones are black.

Who cares what others think...its your car. You didn't ask everyone what to wear today...right.

I would go for dark grey and you should stamp the nice mercedes-benz letter in white this will make a big contrast and looks sportier and nice

Just asking for input. I didn't have to ask anyone what to wear- My mommy picked out my clothes for me.

The Duplicolor kit was $17.99 at the local auto parts store. 3 coats on each and still have paint left over.
Little tip- don't use the crappy paint brush in the kit. Go to Home Depot and buy the cheap set of Artist's Brushes ($4). Has 6 different size brushes that don't pull apart and leave bristles behind. Make sure you clean the calipers thoroughly. Use an old toothbrush to get into the tight corners and buy an extra can of brake cleaner (you'll need it just to be safe)

I used the same kit but used a combo of foam and regular brush from Home Depot.
