Anyone (re)painted their calipers?
Not the cheesy wannabe Brembo look either, but repainting calipers that have been damaged with harsh cleaners. Mine are just crappy looking and need to be spruced back up. Powdercoating is the best route I'd guess.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Actually the large brakes in the front are brembos so it's never out of order to paint those.. I just have to figure out how to preserve the "mercedes' writing..
I would have had then painted by now otherwise...
The last two kits I purchased came from tirerack or performance parts I can't remember which but they work really good when you mix the paint correctly and get it on before the hardener takes over.
that's the way to go unless you want to remove them.

I definitely will remove them to paint them, and I want to have the white "Merz.." there as well. It's gotta look stock or I won't try to do it myself. I was thinking either matching OE silver or yellow as color choices. My biggest concern is do the kit paints giving a factory look?
