Wondering if anyone has had theirs painted on a Palladium silver. Would like to see pics.

Also, shops in Toronto charge about $150 for painting

With a brush and without even dismounting the caliper, maybe. It may work for a Civic with rusted out calipers, but seeing as you're driving an AMG, you need to hold yourself to a higher standard.

We paint.

We can do anything, but I don't have core calipers to swap with an Audi to help with down time.

The turn around is about 1 week from when I receive the calipers here.

Thanks!

That doesn't mean anything. Why don't you call them and ask them exactly how they paint the calipers for $150? I would really like to know.
