color my STOCK brakes pad YAY or NAY?

i am currently driving a e250 coupe, switching to c63 amg original brakes would be too costly , do u think its douche to color my brake pads?

if its fine which color would look better with my white e250 (ong amg kit) ? yellow or red?

just share your opinion

i ve been a big fan of colored brake calipers since i was very young

EDIT: i mean calipers instead of brake pad

What's the point of painting your brake pads lol? Nobody can see your brake pads from the outside? At best they'll just leave paint/damage on your disks.

I'm guessing he might be referring to the calipers?

I painted the calipers myself. Pretty easy. All you need to do is remove the wheels, clean the calipers with the supplied cleaner, paint an you're done.
Here's where you can buy the kit:

There are some videos on youtube on painting calipers. I think even some with the e-class since we have that black plate that has mercedes on it and you probably don't want to paint over.
