red is "classic" but I vote orange if you want something different.
defintely not lime green--for a lambo it's okay or a riced out Honda, but not an AMG

the lime green looks pretty good on the grey e-class but i have to vote orange i might even do mine orange but i would like to see some photoshop on a white c63

Best thing to do is to send them to a shop that is used to painting calipers. They have the right technique and primers to make it right. We have two such shops that we use here in SoCal. IN fact, they do alot of the painting for Brembo, Brabus, Lorinser, TechArt, as well in the states.

thanks

I did these just because you were polite and aksed so indirectly... haha j/k

These are easy - it took me 5 mins to repaint these in PS.
I have to admit white does look good with orange calipers

Thanks Roswell



Thanks Inertia

BAD430BENZ

thank you kind sir . you are the man

damn....that orange looks great on a white car . i see whats next for me besides my new wheels being made

olszowa12

Thanks for the help Brad. Unfortunately a shop in SoCal is out of the question for me. I'll look and ask around. Maybe my MB dealer will recommend someone.

olszowa12

No problem
You should update your sig pic - If you want I can repaint you gold wheels in black haha

My dealer actually just swapped mine over from Red to Silver for me. He said that he will replace them if I decide to later. But they are identical he said.

They messed up and had my car for 2 weeks fixing my back axel. So to make up for it he installed a pair they had for a client that insisted on getting read ones.


I am actually doing everything to get rid of the P31 look in my car, I don't like the red calipers. dont like the carbon interior did not like the carbon wing.

I know, i know but I really needed a break from CF interiors and colored calipers my previous cars had.

it will do the update when the new shoes come in . i am going to have a photoshoot for MERCEDES ENTHUSIAST , MERCEDES PERFORMANCE and PERFORMANCE AUDIO AND SOUND in 2 weeks....just in time for my b-day . Erik Eikenberry will be here next weekend to do the photoshoot

Maybe a dumb question but where do you get the AMG sticker after re-painting your calipers???

I Love the green, and want to do it...bit dont want to paint over AMG logo?

allenc63

Yellow one looks really good!

Faris63

I got my brakes painted last week red with brembo stickers.Sorry the quality is bad I'll get u some clear pictures tomorrow. Also I'm thinking to paint the wheels matte smoke or black

soldier2304

Can you post some close up pictures of your calipers with the brembo stickers?

Ebay !

C63Dude

Please don't paint em. The Look of your car is perfect as it is
But if you're going to paint the wheels, you should go with glossy black.

I painted the wheels on my former car also flat black and regret it in the
end. I started to love the rainy days, cuz my wheels looked glossy then

Can't wait to see more pics of your painted brake calibers. Allready on my
list for future mods...

What do think about yellow brake calibers?

Daniel

olszowa12

I'm not a fan of yellow on cars. Wherever it is.
Go with Dark Red. That's what I decided.

Thanks for all the input guys

olszowa12

Just when I decided to go with Dark Red I found these on my hard drive...
Amazing...





PS of my car with dark red calipers

If your gonna do orange you have to paint the 63 badge orange also

_AMG_

That matt black CL is IINNSSAANNEE!!!!!!
If you want your calipers painted the right way you should PM CRAZY. He does painting for Brembo. I have seen AMG calipers that he painted at his shop and he does incredible work. He is the guy you really want to talk too.

^^^ That's Manu's DPE CL. It's actually more of a matte gun metal.

And just cause we're tossing out color options...here's white

brian0473

Orange.
