    Rusty rear calipers

    The front calipers on my 2003 C32 AMG has the usual glossy silver paint finish, and look great. The rears have turned bronze with rust and look really awful. I asked my dealer to take a look whilst it was with them on Friday (for a new intercooler pump) and said the calipers aren't painted...

    Rusty hubs and calipers

    The look of my wheels tend to be spoilt by the rusty looking disc calipers and hubs. I was thinking about a quick coat of heat resistant black paint. What do you think and would it look really naff if I sprayed the calipers silver? I don't want it to look like a boy racer's car. :)
