Can anyone suggest me what is a good paint or spray paint to paint my own calipers?

You can buy high temp caliper paint and do it yourself, also get 4 AMG or Brembo decals apply it to the caliper and spray a layer of clear coat it.

I have heard good things about the G2 paint kits, might wanna give that a try.

Another vote for G2! I've used it on a few calipers now and they've held up PERFECTLY over 8 years and going.

Avenger, do you have any new pics of your car?
Cant get enough of your WORK VS-XX setup.

Haha. Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are currently getting worked on. I'm getting the lips powdercoated in as close of a color to the center as possible. I was really tired of getting anxiety attacks over each and every little nick and dings on those anodized lips. I also wasn't completely sold on the "polished" lip with dark center look. It should be done by this weekend and then I might have a shoot with a friend's S4 coming sometime next month.

Your M40's are very , especially with those yellow calipers!!!

_AMG_

Thank you sir!!
Cant wait to see pics, yours one of the best setup's Ive ever seen, im sure its gonna look even better with the powder coating!

Here's to hoping they'll turn out well, because with my history of luck towards modding, one can never know.

And sorry for the thread jack!

Back to topic.

G2 kits are awesome!

_AMG_

I'm sure they will turn out better then expected. (knock on wood)

sorry for the thread jacking as well, haha

OP if you do decide to go with the G2 please let us know how they turn out.

you guys really got me thinking about painting my calipers! Those yellow calipers look ridiculous!

_AMG_

Do it!!! Haha
They really do pop out, especially when your driving.

My car is obsidian black so I'm thinking about going with red to play off my tails and give it the P31 look...what other colors do you think pop nicely? I love the yellow you have...was also thinking gold would look nice...and Walter's orange is pretty sick, too...

_AMG_

IMO any color caliper really looks great with black. For me it would be a toss up between Red, yellow, or blue, these colors will definitely pop out.
I agree, the orange on Walters car looks sick!!!

I originally wanted to go with blue (yellow was my second option) but the shop didn't have the shade I was looking for, so im thinking of going with blue later on down the line.

Red or Blue with palladium?

_AMG_

Blue.
Red will look nice too, but blue matches more with silver, especially darker silver like palladium.

Does the G2 paint come out smooth like it would from a body shop? Im having mine redone 1M Valencia Orange.. I personally love yellow calipers, had them on my Obsidian E55.

Burple would look good on palladium.

If you need the AMG logos for the calipers after you paint them I have them in stock in black, white red or yellow. They are the proper size for the front and rear and I sell them in a set of 4 for $12.00.

I just put them in an envelope and stick them in the mail so there is no shipping to anywhere in the United States.

Set of four- $12.00

^^^
RPM North, I will buy a set of AMG stickers when I repaint my calipers.

Wow burple looks awesome!!!
Might even consider that color over blue.

What brand of clear coat u will recommend?

_AMG_

Im not too sure what kind of clear coat to recommend, but the G2 system should come with all the necessary paints and clear coats.
