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?

One other small query, is the front bar on your CLS got an add on piece, looks like a bit of splitter type? Am considering putting AMG one on but its 'light on', your seems to have something added to it?

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,
