Brake calipers
Where are you guys getting them painted? Are you buying a spare set? Powdercoating? How much $$?
Now, I see some say BREMBO... are you upgrading your stocks to BREMBO or are our brakes BREMBO stock?
I'm a n00b, and my CLS55 comes Thursday!

CLS55 black opal
powdercoating won't work due to the temp. ceramic can....others use high temp paint (from home depot through professional).
Our brakes are made by Brembo, but like 99.9 other "Brands", there are different levels of quality. Some people may just be relabeling theirs with paint. Others are swapping out for slightly upgraded brembo's.
I haven't seen anyone with the full race brembos yet though
. Supposedly a new 6-piston monoblock brembos is being released soon which would spank our 8-piston stock ones.

I did a bigger 4 piston on my 500, and I could send someone through the windshield if they dont strap in. I love em. Most people with 55's and 63's repaint and re label to the brembo logo. They are all made by brembo. 
I think euroteck motorsports has a 10 piston
