Painted the Calipers black on my S600 with pics

What do you guys think? I added the decal on the brakes because I painted over the original and plain black looked too plain. I like it especially with my Avus wheels being powdercoated so they match.

Im thinking about doing the Brembo GT 15'' 8-Piston Big Brake Kit on the front and Brembo 4 piston in the rear for some BLING and serious stopping power.

NICE!!!!!!

I want to do the same thing but I like the Mercedes Decal. This is the first car I have kept without coloring the calipers...

I guess I should find decals on Ebay... I'll have a look.

Nice Job

if ya plan on getting a cl65 soon to replace this the brembo brakes is pretty much like tossing several thousand bucks in the trash, no?

I just never understand how on an S600 they put some fairly crapy brakes in the front, when the S55 has so much nicer calipers/rotors. My S600 seems like its got some cheap braking compared to my S55. I want to just put some nice AMG calipers like on the S55 or what you showed above. Youd think with all that torque and power they'd want to throw some decent braking on the S600.

Looks real good. Did you take them all the way off or did you paint them on the car. I need to do mines, any tips to get them to come out like yours. Not sure what color I want to go with but I know that I need to do it.
