After seeing your calipers, I'm motivated to do mine now. Did you hand sand and etch the metal on those calipers before you painted them? How did you replace the AMG logos, are those new decals you cleared over? Killer wheels, someone will surely take those off your hands.

Cool, thanks. Looks labor intensive, but well worth the effort! Who sells the stickers/decals?

Which way did you go?
Bit late I guess, which way did you go? I went with Titanium satin finish with wheels and colour from Avantgarde in the US. Sorry pics are not ideal.

I am working on my CLS500, are the window frames black ext stock AMG or did you do them? What colour/finish?

Wheeler stickers and decals you get on eBay for $10 shipped to your door. I did ont sand my calipers, just gave them a bath with engine degreaser and warm soap and water. Make sure they dry all the way.

Beurlej, I love those wheels and the color. I went with the Ferrari stock titanium color..

Welcome to the club, homie! The jack *** that painted mine was lazy and taped nothing off. I'll redo them or replace the fasteners later.

It is a front lip. Looks like a splitter because the car is black.

So how are the calipers holding up a couple years later? I am pretty much sold on doing this now since the calipers I have are all scratched/paint chips everywhere.

Thanks,
