Thumbs up Color Matched OEM 19" AMG's!
Decided to color match the OEM 19's... Went for a low-sheen alabaster white spray, which is between a gloss and matte surface. To finish them off, I snapped in a set of custom color matched center caps from RAD USA.



Total cost with paint, dis/remount tires, and center caps came out to $500. Down time, 3 days.

Looks great...time to paint your calipers black with white AMG lettering (more subtle) or if you want to go full whitestorm look...white calipers with black AMG lettering.

Funny you mention that... I was actually saying to myself, white calipers with black AMG lettering wouldn't look too bad...
