Brake Calipers Painted! Quite Impressed!

So I wasn't originally going to do it, but the stock grey AMG brake calipers blended in too much and I wanted a bit of pop of colour. So I contacted a reputable detailer/custom painter and we got it done in a custom gold colour - mixture of Subaru gold and AMG gold. It turned out quite nice too! Sets off the overall red paint and black wheels quite nicely I reckon. Wasn't cheap by any means, but it was a proper caliper paint job.

Looks great, GORGEOUS vehicle!!!! I also wasn't going to do mine, but after I put new chrome wheels on the car the dingy grey calipers bugged me! It took a whole weekend to paint the calipers, rotors and the AMG insignias on the wheels, but I really like the look now!

Thank you!

That's amazing. Any photos? Looks like a lot of hard work to get it done yourself but as long as you love it, all pays off in the end! I'm quite time poor and have no experience in doing so, so had to get it done professionally Took them about half a day to get done.

Very nicely done OP, that looks good. Much better than the cliche red that everyone does.
