What color to paint the calipers?
Now that I have all black wheels I figured I can change the color of the calipers. I have always liked yellow calipers, But im thinking blue would go very well with silver and black. Or should I leave it stock?
Any suggestions?

blue goes really well, but when you have to sell the car, you might need to revert the calipers back to stock color.

the stock silver isn't that bad. i would say stay stock.

you may consider using 390mm brake discs to stand your breakes out more. i guess they are stock sl63 or cls63 discs? i don't remember exactly.

I was thinking stock as well. Blue or yellow calipers would have been real nice with the black wheels. I like the stock caliper color also.

I know Evosport makes rotors for the C63 along with the other 63 and 55 models but dont know what size they are. If I do decide to go with larger rotors I'm definitely going to get slotted only.

I suppose you don't have the red ones? I think red and black has always been a great combination?
I am however a great fan of keeping things clean so i say go with stock. Makes it easier for you in the future when you're selling the car.

That was my first choice when I told my dealership which colour I wanted. But they told me later that they wouldn't do it as they couldn't guarantee the durability.

I can't imagine how expensive the rotors would be to replace? $2500 per rotor ?

Probably around that price range. I know the Porsche PCCB brakes are around $4,000-$5,000 each!!
