Pics - Powdered coated calipers
OK, here goes nothing, they look really nice, the true color doesn't really show, it is king of deeper red than in pictures, but it brightens on direct sun light, very nice color IMO
I'll put them on today or tomorrow and will post more pics.
Color is called Transparent Red, two coat process.

I also didn't think any lettering was going to show. I could always hand paint it, but I won't I like that look, if AMG was raised I would've asked them to do something nice with it.

Looks Great! The Coating Should last a Long Time! Did You have the Pistons Cad plated (on the Outer)
For rust reasons..Also Where Did You get the Seal Kit?
Please post some Pics on the car!

No cad plating, the cleaning involves sand blasting and some chemicals, I don't understand the Seal Kit (ring and dust boots???)
I took the calipers to a shop where they powder coat items. Basically the heat them up to 450 F Deg and apply the powder coating material (like rubber powder) and then let it cool off, cook it again and apply a second coat (I have a special color that requires two coats).
Pics will follow tonite or tomorrow.

WTH?
Poochie,
What's that mounted on your side yard wall? I see the irrigation control timer box, but is that your electrical panel?
BTW--VERY nice calipers! Pretty Ol'Lady you got there too. Nice job on both!
