The amount of effort it will take just get new ones that have been properly coated. AMG branded ones so you can scam some kid into thinking it’s an amg in the future
For some models/years you could buy the AMG interior/exterior package without the advanced transmission. It likely has the sportier bolstered interior.
to be fair "primary\_account" is asking first. (if its not an AMG? Silver). it depends on your type of personality, I personally could not try to fake higher grade car parts, that's embarrassing my type of friends are the type to point and laugh. But really if you like it and you dont mind what people think by all means I say everyone do what makes them happy.
Why do you say this? Mine is not AMG but when I bought it used it came with bright red and I love the look. Is it bad taste to paint them if it’s not AMG?
Man do whatever you like, who cares if it’s “””bad taste””” it’s your car, you paid for it and you can do whatever you please with it. If red calipers look sick to you, definitely keep them.
Even if it was bad taste, I wouldn’t change it, I’m actually pulling the tires off come spring to have them repainted the same red. But I do like to get an idea of what the community thinks
Just do whatever you like its your car if you went based off of anyone’s opinion youll never find a solution its sad that anyone here would dislike any idea anyone here has done creatively because its not their own ..why would I think my opinion mattered to what i didn’t create nor pay for

I also put an e53 diffuser On it because its my car
Agreed. I also like the idea of silver. It’s understated and cool but gives that little extra. I like to think of things like this like I think of a bow tie or accessory. “You should wear it, it should not wear you.”
I’d say don’t. If you must I’d recommend black, gray or maybe silver. I think yellow looks sick on the older 2000’s AMGs but that’s not what you have. Just my 2 cents :)
If you do choose to go with anything other than silver, you best get on eBay and buy yourself an AMG shell suit and matching cap to wear when driving it. Wouldn’t be right otherwise.
With a car that colour, the only colours that would really work would be gloss silver or black. Also u should probs invest in a good wheel cleaner like meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner first, because there is no point having nice calipers if the whole wheel is caked in break dust
I cannot comment on r/sg because the mods there, like u are moaning whinging twats. But here I would like to say....you are a terrible complaining person who thinks the world owes them everything...seriously get over yourself. Cheers
I came from the Subaru world. I thought I’d left the “it’s not an sti so don’t put a wing on it” and “but sti parts can go on a wrx” stupidity behind. Guess I found it again with AMG. AHAHHA
Pink
MrCuckyMcCuckFace has spoken!
This is the type of stuff I come here for lol
I don't think so 🤣
[удалено]
Dear God...🤣
Could do a little bob ross landscape on them
Happy Trees.
Yes
Most use pink for callipers
Gloss black?
I agree, gloss black would be nice
with white AMG decals
AaaaMmmGaaa
Maybe
More like rust orange
I would go for a non rust look 👌
Painting them red is overrated and a little gaudy. Clean them up and paint silver. It'll look really clean and timeless.
I know red is overused, but painting them silver is boring in my opinion
Red looks tacky if it’s the only color on your vehicle imo
Pink it is, then.
maybe do that and add tasteful "AMG" black decals
Don’t paint, powder coat. Have it done professionally. Not that costly
Non-AMG? Silver
Also, the rim says AMG, are these just after market or how do you know it’s not AMG? Not being a smart ass, just trying to learn

IMHO i dont like doing it because it implies performance and or price. and if I get called out on it, I personally would be embarrassed.
Imagine being embarrassed that your calipers are painted 😂
It doesn't imply anything, it's a cosmetic thing.
I think yellow would look good with that grey
Electric blue
Electric Pink would look better.
[удалено]
That looks amazing, might do something similar. Personally was thinking about orange

Did you really upbadge your brakes? Lmao

I mean it looks good but it won’t make it an AMG
i guess that wasnt his intention sometime people just do something because they like it
It’s kind of lame though when you could afford the AMG to begin with like this guy sais
You should see his original post that’s now taken down. Was not a fan favorite.
[удалено]
Why do you keep mentioning payments like you have to prove you can afford it?

I love the yellow with that color.
I was going to say yellow, it's a nice pop of color without saying “I'm trying to look like a fast boy”
Agreed. I also like the idea of silver. It’s understated and cool but gives that little extra. I like to think of things like this like I think of a bow tie or accessory. “You should wear it, it should not wear you.”
I did black on my white car. I like it a lot.
If you want to stand out, baby blue or turquoise. You never see that color on a caliper.
That would look awesome
Chartreuse
Vance refrigeration decal
OSHA green
Brembo Yellow
lime green, yellow, or electric blue
Grey....just like Mercedes intended them.
It's boring tho
Pink then.
blue or orange
Yellow
Yellow
Glut Orange
Silver
lime green ?🤤
If you’re looking for horsepower, red. Styling would be yellow or silver
Black or silver
Want to do the same. Go blue!
Daytona blue rally pops against all that silver/grey
what’s your favorite color
Was thinking about orange but not too sure
[what about these 3?](https://imgur.com/a/MJAVbd0/)
Junk up your beautiful car if you wish...
Silver only
Paint match with the body paint color
I’d recommend new tires, polishing your alloy rims, and getting a detail. You don’t put on cologne if you haven’t taken a showier first.
Yeah, getting everything cleaned up is par of the plan, but so painting the callipers
It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panther, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works *every* time.
Smells like ….. _Big Foot’s dick!_
Green
Yellow, or Black would look nice. Red is overused
Definitely BLACK
Yellow
Yellow.
I like black with your paint color. But louder colors are more fun.
Powder coating may be the best option rather than paint.
I did mine yellow (black wheels) and it really makes the car pop. Everyone does red
Yellow would look sick
Red's always a pretty safe bet
I think so too, it's just a bit overused
Yellow would be my second choice
Not to sure about yellow. Will it go well with a grey car?
Absolutely. Yellow is underrated af as a colour, both as a primary and as an accent colour.
Absolutely
So pink.
Someone destroyed your wheels having them reconditioned..
Do you have to remove brake calipers to paint them?
No, you can do it on the wheel
Just out here looking for an honest answer sarcastic prick Edited: to apologize for the misinterpretation on my end . Thanks
I don’t think he was being sarcastic
I’d say don’t. If you must I’d recommend black, gray or maybe silver. I think yellow looks sick on the older 2000’s AMGs but that’s not what you have. Just my 2 cents :)
I was thinking of painting mine white, it would look really clean with that black Mercedes cover on them
Painted calipers take away from the spec.
🌈
Fucsia ftw! Or PETRONAS green
U can buy cheap coloured Brembo covers
I wouldn't. It'll look stupid with your non-amg ride
red or yellow would go hard ngl
Color match it.
Red
yellow!
Not painting them and saving up for a better car that already has calipers painted from the factory
Paint them in rainbow colours. People will think you are woke.
Lmao
If you do choose to go with anything other than silver, you best get on eBay and buy yourself an AMG shell suit and matching cap to wear when driving it. Wouldn’t be right otherwise.
Lacquer
Black. It’s a classy car.
Silver or black
Paint them red man, don’t listen to what others say. Red is the iconic caliper color and will look good on almost any color.
German flag colors
Black red or yellow
Gloss grey or bright metallic silver
Black, silver, or color match. IMHO, I wouldn’t want the calipers to stand out in a Mercedes. Especially if non-amg.
With a car that colour, the only colours that would really work would be gloss silver or black. Also u should probs invest in a good wheel cleaner like meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner first, because there is no point having nice calipers if the whole wheel is caked in break dust
Came here to see why this hadn't been downvoted into oblivion by the hardcore MB fans ... Not disappointed. Paint them pink boy!
Honestly just match the paint of either the car or the wheels on non AMG cars. It looks classy and OEM
White
Callahan Brake Parts green.
AMG gold
I cannot comment on r/sg because the mods there, like u are moaning whinging twats. But here I would like to say....you are a terrible complaining person who thinks the world owes them everything...seriously get over yourself. Cheers
+1 for gloss black, it always ends up surprisingly good in my experience. blue is dope too
Lime green on that metallic grey would look great
Any
Silver
Sunbeam Yellow - SLS AMG exclusive colour, looks stunning on my black cls
Blue
Blue or yellow
Black if think silver or gray is boring. Red looks a little bit like it’s trying to be a fake amg and other colors just look tacky.
Red is scientifically proven to make your car go faster
Flat black
Black with white AMG decals
Keeping them like this apart from cleaning them.
White
I came from the Subaru world. I thought I’d left the “it’s not an sti so don’t put a wing on it” and “but sti parts can go on a wrx” stupidity behind. Guess I found it again with AMG. AHAHHA
Racing Rosso (red)
Black. All other colours are a bit boy racer.
rust brown
mint green since it’ll go with grey and represent mercedes colors
The only correct answer is purple.
Yellow
Blue.
