Please Give Input - Brake Calliper Color

Hey Guys,

I'm going in on Saturday to get my callipers painted although not sure on what color yet so I wanted your input. What color would you say to go for with a silver C63 with 19" black matte OEM AMG 16 spoke rims? Photo attached.

Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you.

Have
3-4 colors I'm thinking about

Orange I saw on a black c63 and it looked amazing.

I think I going to go with yellow but really wanted to do something different and go with baby blue.

Red also looks very nice and its a option on c63's with PP.

Good luck Post some pix when u done.

I've seen a few lime green mthis and they looked amazing. I just don't believe they suit a silver car. I also saw some nice callipers on here which were kind of electric blue with yellow AMG labelling which looked sick. Am really not sure but I know Saturday is the big day for me. Will also put it in for a tune.

IMO yellow is a natural with silver...not cutting-edge but tasteful.

i don't think i'd do different colors on each side, but i also have a silver car and am deciding between red, blue, green, and orange. it's a pretty hard decision, but they all work out and worst case scenario.....you can always repaint them down the road if you get tired of it.

Thanks everyone,

Some great photos and great cars!

I am now either on electric blue with white AMG labelling or lime green with black AMG labelling. Will post it up when it's done. Also going to get a OE tune running 98 octane. I can't wait!

I think with your silver body color, I forget the name, I would go with the Lambo lime green and a gunmetal or black labeling. The lime green would just pop out of that color. Especially when rolling, people will just see the lime green screaming out of your wheels!!!

Thanks everyone again,

I have decided to go for lime green with black AMG labelling.

Can you confirm what the color paint code is for the lime green shown above?

All I have for now is: Lamborghini Verde Ithica Mic 2ct paint code *0077 but it seems that's not as bright as the callipers shown above?

Thanks

Just typed Lamborghini Lime Green Paint code into Google and it showed a few variations of the options used on the Lambo and also provided their paint code colors. That seemed to be the brightest one. Dropping it off tomorrow.

Do you guys think it would be too OTT to do the side badges 6.3 AMG in the same color as the callipers?

No, not at all. It actually might help make both, the badges and calipers, pop!! I think it sounds like a great idea. Kinda wish I thought of that.

Thanks Jordanaf, I'm going to get a new set of badges and will give them to the shop that does the callipers and get them to do them the same color. I will take the current badges off so if the lime green is a bit too much then I will just 3M the old badges back.

One question, is the AMG on the calliper a sticker or is it paint? Thanks
