Hey guys 2017 C43 here...

I really wanted to get my calipers painted, just to add a little bit of pop. Would love to go red, but that's kinda C63 territory. Does anyone have any thoughts on maybe a gloss black? I know it's subtle, but would match the night package + amg sills.

A question on prices - full removal caliper repainting is 2250, non removal is like 400.

Prices are in Canadian, but any input on the actual difference between the two would be really appreciated. I'd obviously like the 400 option, but also don't want to cheap out.

Would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Go with gold or bronze. Get it painted while they are on. Should look sick w/ blue.

Googled the bronze, looks pretty nice! would stand out a lot more than black.. thanks

Where are you located in Canada? I think someone else posted just recently they had it done for about $200 in Toronto. He also posted pics with the burnt Copper

The thread is above. I believe the place he went to is called Spence Tires. https://www.spencetire.com/home.html

Definitely don't do gloss black. Flat or nothing, otherwise the brake dust will make them look terrible.

I kinda like the idea of bronze with blue. It will hide the brake dust and still pop against the blue. If you do it please post pics.

I had this done a couple weeks ago at Spence Tire in Toronto. $180 plus tax. Calipers were painted on the car and process took about 2 1/2hrs. Getting lots of looks and compliments with the Burnt Copper color, seems people wondering what model AMG my car is. They really did a good job with the paint and decals, looks stock (except for the rear pads also getting painted, if you didn't know you couldn't tell. Spence said they can try and mask the pad if you ask them. I did not think to ask). They offer tons of different colors for you to choose from.
A pretty cheap mod that makes a huge difference in the look of the car.

Hey, thanks for the responses. Appreciate the link + pictures. Booked in at Spence Tire tomorrow, thinking the burnt copper looks good! Will take a look in person.

Would yellow be a terrible idea?

Thanks again, will update with pics!

Wow that bronze looks dope!

Yellow a la GT R would be very cool also.

I think yellow with black decals would look great.

Hey, just to update you guys. Went to Spence Tire and picked the yellow with black decals. Not a quick process, apparently the yellow takes a long time to dry. The rear decals wouldn't go on because the paint was too tacky 3.5 hours in. So just left them off.

Totally forgot to mention taping the pads. Good thing I guess, because the whole thing ran 2 hours over.

If anything I wish the yellow was a little more vibrant, but pretty happy with it for now. Sorry it's dirty, couldn't wash it for a day or two and haven't had a chance yet.

Thanks for everyone's input!
