lkirchner thanks for the website! i placed an order.

M-benz, i had my shop do it for me with heat resistant paint and clear coat. I've tried painting my calipers on another car myself but it started peeling after awhile so i let the professionals handle this time. it really came out nice

i don't think the body shop used the same paint i used from one of those do it yourself brake caliper kits. there paint job looks much better than what it did but only time will tell how well it holds up
