im pretty happy with them, i taped things off and removed the hardware so none of that stuff got sprayed on and they really stand out once i get them cleaned up some more, i have white AMG stickers on the way

why neglect your rotors, and just paint the calipers. The rotors could use some primer gray paint

thumper823

it crossed my mind but you cant really see the edges or the center of the rotor when the wheels are mounted.... didnt see the point in that

I can understand that. My wheels on the other hand, are an open face wheel, so you see everything. Since I was changing out all four brake pads last saturday, I went ahead and painted mine. This photo was from the last time, I painted them. You can still make out the primer gray. I don't have any pictures of the rotors since I sprayed them, last Saturday.




This just looks ugly, by comparison.

It's a subtle difference but definitely worth it (mine are matte black, not primer gray) - especially if the wheels are off right now while you wait for the stickers....

They dont look very shiny. Does not look like the best job.

i actually did them a couple weeks ago and had some dust settle on them, between that and the poor lighting in my barn and using a camera phone.. they dont look that great, but they are Duplicolor gloss black and do look good in person

yours do show a lot of the rotor, tonight i will set a wheel up to it and see how much shows, but either way i am convinced and will end up painting the rotors soon

Thats cool.

Nice Job on the calipers. Mine are getting painted orange right now and hopefully I can post some pics next week.
Motorkas- Your car looks freaking amazing. The paint is like glass.
Real Nice.

Do you mind me asking where you're getting yours painted and how much it's costing? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to answer here.

Look good! They really stand out with your color scheme nice choice!

Regardless, of what the concensus is, I think that the rotors look better painted, if you prefer gloss black or primer grey in my case.
