Poll: calipers on silver E55

I'm itching to do my calipers to make them stand out a little. As of now, my thoughts are strongest with-
- burnt orange
-gold

Typical options for silver would be red or yellow, not sure if I want either.
I would love sls color.......
Thoughts?
Also any sources to get exotic colors such as a metallic gold?

I'm looking into the same thing, really like both the gold and burnt orange that are on the new mercs. I think the only way to get those colors right would be powder coating. I know G2 doesn't have them.

I emailed G2 about the SLS and lambo colors.

The only thing is there kits are brush on. They say it is higher quality than a rattle can and their paint is a epoxy system. Anyone have experience with this?

I bought the g2 brush on kit because I wanted something close to the Brembo gold. DO NOT get the brush on kit. It was a PITA to apply. I took my time and still have brush marks on the calipers. I am going to sand them down and redo them with a rattle can. A couple coats of color, throw some decals on and cover with a coat or two of clear is all you need.

Don't waste your money with the kit.

I went with gold on my Iridium Silver CLS55 and it looks great. Subtle but it grabs your attention.

Shifter- your calipers are perfect the way they are. All you need is euro trim strips and you're set.

if you look at some of my threads... my first time i did it with a g2 kit... and than after the brush you have to use cans to spray it and make it nice and smooth, or else it will look all liny when brushing it... other than that the G2 is a great way to kinda give them a prime coat with the brush

^This.


But if you really are itching to do something with them, I'd say paint them a gloss black with silver lettering.
