I'm interested in painting the stock AMG Brakes. The rims are gonna be custom made and I want some extra pop to compliment them so I've been thinking about painting them red or alabaster white.

Most cars with an OEM BBK have rust/high temp coated calipers and then they are treated with primer, paint, and clear. So that means that basically a powdercoat is not necessary at all right? I could just paint them and seal them nicely with a few coats right? I am not talking about "paint kits", I am talking about painting them to a finish and process similar to exterior body paint. Would this be okay? As far as I know this would not be a problem but I would like to confirm.

Also how can I get the AMG logo put back on just like stock? I am told its a screen process... how the hell do I do that? Any help would be appreciated. Should I just get some decals made to exact specifications and put them on with a coat of clearcoat over them? Thanks.

Using a high temp paint and having the calipers painted as you would a body panel will work but it must be a high temp paint. Here is the place where you can buy the decals for the calipers, http://www.xenonmods.com/

i painted my calipers on a CLK i used to own no problems at all. i have been wanting to do the same to the E55 but was also wondering where to get the AMG decals at. untill now thanks for the link, lkirchner!

I used those decals after I painted the calipers on my old C320. They worked very well. I also put a clear coat engine enamel over top of the decals once they were on for extra protection and durability.

you guys are trippen....

I would never paint my 8 piston brembo brakes with some pepboys spray cans or paint.


I am contemplating getin my brakes sent out to be painted. The shop i work with does this every day of the week for every lambo, ferrari, porshe, mercedes, bentley..... all that ****...


They look better then new when done, no seriously they look factory. They still say amg exactly the same. Can get every color from white to black.

Send me a pm for more info

You can do nearly perfect job with high temp spray and clear if you are patient and handy. You should remove the caliper to do it right though, and the main reason it isn't the best idea is that I've done the same in the past only to wipe it all off doing a brake job using brake cleaner.....it's not as durable as powder coat.

Will powdercoating the OEM brakes void warranty? I really want to powdercoat my brakes red but worry about dealer response.
