The shop at Sin Ming, quite far from my office. Plus I'm considering if I want to spray all my interior trims too.

What you mean by "interior trim"?

All the aluminum trims in the car. I quite like this glossy black look:

Makes the interior very slick!

Initially I thought you posted your car pics... So have you found the rims you've wanted?

Calipers can be painted red, damage isn't too high as well. Check with your spray painting shop for more info.

Not in sg now and will be back next week to check out the rims. The red callipers look good huh! I liked it very much when I saw it. My concern is over time, if high temp paint not used the paint may just flake away.

I rem there is a guy doing it mobile, his workmanship is good. I wonder if he still does it?

Spray? I know there is a process (forgot the name) that you actually cover it with a vinyl (any design) and it lasts.

Bro is it difficult to remove the trim ourselves ? If it's not a problem I'll DIY myself to try and spray. I prefer it in glossy white

For interior trim spray, I was quoted $480. I've decided to sticker the interior instead of spray as the cost is substantially lower, final product would be fairly similar too depending on the quality of the sticker.

Interior sticker + door pillar sticker (area where you close the door which leaves tons on fingerprints) + 3Pcs AMG decal to stick on my front brakes = $100

IMHO some other advantages of sticker, if I'm sick of it I just tear it out, interior trims do not need to be removed during the sticker process thus minimizing the probability of damages, downtime is far shorter compared to spray. Downtime 3-4hrs. My sticker job is today, photos to come.

As for the brake calipers, the process is 1) spray the calipers to your chosen color, 2) stick on the AMG decal (which I got from the sticker shop), 3) Spray on sealant. Everything will all be done at the spray shop, I was quoted $70 per caliper. Downtime 1 day.

Lcohol, I've no idea how easy or hard it is to remove. Just be careful when you DIY, the clips holding the trims can be broken.
