He charges $90 cash and includes grinding/prep, paint, clearcoat and decal. Very nice job and it can last a few years on new calipers. If you wait till after winter there will likely be oxidation on the calipers so the job will need to be redone more often.
I will post a whole car pic next week after installing the 5 Axis body kit!!

Usually is a heat resistant paint it's pretty easy to do. just gotta tape off the back and then put a garbage bag around the disk to keep everything clean.... i would go with engine paint is what it's called i think....

For $9 dollars more and try this.
Dupli-Color BCP400 red brake caliper kit = $19.
http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliperPaint/ Enjoy and have fun for those who like DIY. Otherwise... get the cash ready and pay for someone to do it. Thank you. |

Calipers too small.
Red just highlights our tiny 2-piston calipers (1 in the back?). |
