^ Not really, none that are much closer up.
Weather is getting cooler here now too so I'm probably not going to wash the car up the way it really needs to be for caliper pictures... You have to take the wheels off to really clean the white the way it should be cleaned.
Eventually (as in next spring) I'll put a build thread together and I'll be sure to have the calipers in there. After all, it will be pretty hard to hide them behind new wheels

13' E350 4matic, 08' E63
Thought I would give Tal a bump. I happened to be out on business in San Diego this week, just happens to be right after I picked up a E63 08' and saw these posts for Caliper Painting. I spoke with him by email and he happened to have ready a set of CC factory copies calipers. I will say the color is the closest that I have seen to date. I did my previous E63 in VHT Burnt Copper but these are actually even closer to the factory color.
The paint work and decals were spot on, the pistons were NOT covered by any paint and the fluid nipple had been taped off before painting also. The work was exceptional so I thought that since I handled them in person today, and spoke with Tal personally that I would post this up for other forum members. Tal has a full shop with many high end vehicle in all stages of custom work. It appears to be one of the more professional operations that I have seen.
I can do the painting myself and after speaking with him, I might just do it myself due to having to remove the calipers anyway. Then its only a little time on my part to prep and paint. So not sure if I will spend the money with him, however we did speak of some mods and his first suggestion was to go with a LSD before a tune etc.... Without putting the power to the ground first, whats the point of the tune. I tend to agree. I will be working with Tal for that and likely a set of rims sometime next spring. Just thought I would post the experience with others.
Tal is highly recommended and when I am ready I won't hesitate to do business with him !!!!!
