paint them??
is this a trick question?
you should have gotten the P30, that is the one you wanted

Aty63

thanks for that lol
i jus wasnt sure as i dont wana mess them up ! i know people have dont it but it flakes off but heat resistant paint should do the trick i guess

thanks

Aty63

and to tick that option it would cost alot of money lol which i dont have

hyperion667

I know what you mean man, good luck.....what about powder coating?
OH, and beware on mbonlineparts.....they'll make you go crazy

Again to powdercoat them we will have to strip the calipers and i dont really wanna do that!

Paint them--- there are tons of heat resistant paints out there. I have had many of my cars caliper's painted. A good few layers of clear coat will protect them.

I powder coated my R8's calipers, definitely not the easiest or cheapest way, though.

thanks for that i think i will just try painting them !

but first i will have to have the car, mercedes just phoned that they cant deliver the car tommorow for some reason i have a bad feeling bout this !!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

i want that car by the end of the week i hate waiting

Mr. Smokes

Grab a can of spray paint and have at it...

Calipers-paint + clear coat
Emblems-Plastidip or ebay
Window trim-Vinyl or Plastidip

mainly

dude dont paint them yourself, unless your a professional... there powdercoated and if you do anything but powdercoating it will look cheap and cheap and cheap.

plus even if you powdercoat them, what about the logo... ?

youll either loose it or it wont look nearly as good after


just leave them

i had the calipers on my m5 powdercoated, it was an improvemt because the m5's calipers are just painted from the factory. powdercoating looks amazing and is the ONLY way to go, but it was expensive, (2800 dollars including new seals/labour)

id leave them
