Those look awesome! Especially the paint strokes that overlapped onto the pads. I bet you put the 55 badge on the back of your 320 as well, BARF.

No smarta$$, the car was a fairly new purchase when I did the calipers...unlike the other vehilces I own where I was experienced with the brake work and dismantled everything prior to paint, I didn't feel it was necessary to tear into this one just yet.

And unless you are a mechanic...or a dog getting ready to piss on the tires, most don't notice the slight imperfections...and the pic was taken with a shop light aimed directly onto the rim...when the car is outside, the caliper color doesn't look as dramatic...

This is what the car looks like with the "BARF" brake calipers...although red would have been a more correct color, the best part about vehicle ownership is that you can do whatever the heck you want!

...since the rims are authentic AMG, I saw no reason why I couldn't bend the rules and stick ///AMG on the calipers as well...
