You need the caliper paint (aka high heat paint) and a clear coat is you want that shine. Some dont require a clear coat but do require a few coats of paint. The AMG is a sticker I believe you can find on ebay but their may be a better quality stick I dont know about.

I hope tbone doesn't mind that I post these pics again...

I'm loving the color. You got me thinking of getting mine painted blue too. But would it look good on a black car?

Since that blue is on the darker side, I think it might disappear on a black car. Just my humble opinion...


I thought I posted some pics of mine, but apparently not. Here are a couple of mine...

They are the stock brakes. The pics above are only of the front wheels / brakes.

Yellow behind black wheels is the only way to go!







But it also works with non black wheels!

I agree with you. dark blue would not cut it but then again what other color would go good with it? except red that is I feel like its too cliché
