White Calipers on my White C63 Sedan
Had a chance to paint my calipers white on my 2014 C63. I bought the car and it had orange calipers on their which looked OK, but it wasn't my favorite shade of orange and I always wanted white calipers on a white car, so figured lets give it a try.
I absolutely LOVE the look and so happy I did it! The black ///AMG decals set them off in my opinion.
Onto the pics:

After wheels and black ///AMG Decals put on:
All that's left for the exterior is a CF front lip, and the look is complete

Awesome. You and I talked about the orange on another thread, and I have to admit, the shade of orange wasn't my favorite either. This, however, looks great.
What kit did you use? G2? Also, did you clear coat over after applying the decal?

This on the other hand is an afternoon job, looks great, and costs $40.
Yes, G2. Had the kit in my garage for 2 years debating which car to do white calipers on, and finally decided on this C63 haha.
I've painted calipers using G2 so many times now. Here is my Viper I did with G2's kawasaki lime green:

It's not spray paint, its' a ceramic paint coating that is applied with a brush. Powdercoating / removing, etc is a 3-5 day job, costs $500+ with full rebuild of calipers since you have to take everything apart, it's just a hassle.

Did you happen to clear over the decal though?

Have fun cleaning them. My calipers are powdercoated white so I know the pain.

Nice! I've been wanting to paint my calipers with G2 for some time. I just can't decide what color. I'm thinking either yellow or red but just don't know if I'll like yellow because of the red tail lights. I'm weird that way.

Not a problem here haha..we don't get much rain in AZ, so it's just brake dust pretty much. Just like a white car, having white calipers is awesome because they never look dirty. Takes a lot to make a white car look dirty. Out here black is the devil color, as an hour after a wash, the car has an a layer of dust on it.
