Hi everyone, I’m considering getting the calipers painted on my new 2020 C43 Sedan and wanted to ask for some suggestions, or pictures if you’ve already had this work done? My car is Polar White with the Night Package, and the wheels will be powder coated to match the picture below. The shop suggested a Matte Grey for the Calipers, but I haven’t seen this before. Your ideas/suggestions, as well as pictures, are most appreciated! Thank you!
I don't have a photo to share as I am getting my calipers painted this week as well. However, I was torn between burnt copper and red (overdone, I know but hear me out). I am going for a darker shade of red due to my interior being black with red stitching as well as red seat belts.
Who are you guys getting to dissemble and reassemble the brakes? Is the powder coating shop doing it or MB?
Mine were just painted while on the car for around $200.. The proper way would be disassembled and powder coated but I was quoted around $2000 for that process. The disassemble and coating all done by the same company. If you know what your doing I don't think it's very difficult to take the brakes of the car.

I just replace my rotors and pads on the front and back which requires removal of the calipers. Albeit you don't need to remove the brake lines so bleeding wasn't necessary. But, flushing and bleeding the brakes is also easy. It is straight forward to do it yourself if you have any mechanical aptitude. There are numerous videos on Youtube on how to replace your brakes. If my car wasn't an everyday driver I would have painted mine. I would go for red just so it matches my red seatbelts and red stitching. I love the red AMG theme.
