I'm in SoCal and I've been thinking about getting my brakes painted a different color, does anybody know of any good places that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg?

Thanks!!

Hey Scottie I heard a place does it for 150 each if I remember correctly. I'll dig around and let you know.

Perfect! Thank you so much! I got my moms E class done for 300 total and they did awesome! But the place closed down. I got quoted 800 by some place but that so ridiculous

They see the amg sticker on the back they add couple hundred, haha :P I'll ask and get back to you.

Just make sure they take the calipers off the car and don't ghetto paint them. MAke sure they use high temp paint too

where can i get the amg brake logos anyway?

A proper job should not cost more then 200-250 all said and done. I had my old Rotora callipers chromed on my BMW.

To have them powder coated was 50 bucks per corner. 200 total. Another 50 dollars for new dust seals and boots.

That's what I think! Damn that looks sick too! Where'd you get it done?

If you have a local online classifieds, check for local powder coaters or metal coaters in your area.

The hardest part of this process is removal / reinstall of the calipers. You may want to change out your seals if you tear them down. Should only be a few bucks for the seals etc.

I'm having my dad's new gt500 calipers painted tomorrow at GAS (galpin auto sports) tomorrow as a late Christmas present. The brembos on that thing look to be the same size as our brakes but since they're painted black you can't really see them. I'll post pictures tomorrow and let you guys know if they did a legit job. They do good work there. I'll ask if they work on benz too for people that are interested. They're charging me 350 I think.
