AMG sport painted calipers and AMG decals
Finished a weekend project and wanted to share a quick picture. Painted the calipers with high heat paint, new AMG logos w/ 10 degree curvature, and high heat clear. It’s a nice visual improvement. The car is dirty right now but I’ll have to get some full car pictures soon.

Thanks!
Thanks! Since I was going silver, I just masked them off on this one. I've done it both ways. On the w205 it is very easy to get a really good mask. The key seems to be good prep and good quality high heat caliper paint and clear.

Looks awesome and a clean job! Maybe you can write up a detailed DIY for the other folks on the forum? I plan on doing this soon but just not sure how to prep the calipers.

Thanks! In the big scheme of things, not much is involved. Here is the process:
1. Scuff them with fine grade sand paper
2. Soak them in spray 9, then wipe down, then mash everything off.
3. Spray several thin coats of high quality, high heat caliper paint. Hit it lightly with a heat gun between each coat.
4. Allow to dry
5. Attach decals
6. Spray several coats of high heat clear. Hit it lightly with a heat gun between each coat.
7. Done!
