need a shop to paint my brembo calipers (FOUND)
 

I am looking for a shop to paint my brembo's on my jeep srt8. I want it to look factory and willing to pay.


thanks,

DIY

otherwide just go to good bodyshop I guess?

too chicken to do it myself...right now the calipers are smooth glossy black and i don't want to mess that up.

called Ak autoworks and they don't want to do it.

any bodyshop that is willing to do it.

If you want the whole factory paint look, it will cost you a shiny penny.

need to remove all 4 calipers, paint with high temp paint, and reinstall, refill brake fluid. This is the only way to make it 100% factory looking.

its approx $800 of material and labour right there.


or just spend $50 and brush on high temp paint on it yourself.

When I took my car to MFRT to get something done, they had a customer who had a XC90 with some sort of sport package made by Heico. (which i never heard of before, and apparently they are a volvo tuner)
The guy at MF was just finished painting the Heico brake calipers on that XC90 when I walked in.

You can try them?

thanks for all your help!!!

sorry what is the shop name for MF?

thanks

that's about the price i got to refinish a set of porsche calipers too, and that includes stripping the original finish, but not re/re the pistons/seals.

Who would pay that much for painted calipers? Not that hard to remove calipers, take them off and take them down to a shop and get them sprayed.

800 bucks? c'mon, put that money towards something else. plz...

We can do it,

OP has PM!

800? Dont do it bro..

not for 800 bucks...can't you just take it off and send it to a powder coating shop?

powdercoaters will charge less (my vague recollection was $200-300/pr), but many of the shops i had asked at the time required that i break the calipers down (ie. pull the pistons/seals) and get them media blasted on my own.

in my case, i had a total of 12 pistons and seals to re/re, which was expensive because of the stupid porsche markups on the rebuild kit :(

MF is just MF lol or MFRT, i think they are an RS sponsor

BTW is that xc90 the red one? There's sometimes a fire red xc90 a block from where I live, I think it's got the V8 too

If you do take off brakes, make sure you know what you're doing.
That's the one thing in a car you don't want to install back on improperly.

Nope it was a black XC90 V8 with Heico body kit, brakes, wheels, springs, the whole lot. It was NEW too, still had the new car smell. Apparently it was also a demo car so the owner got it for CHEAP.

The shop's name is MFRT, on Marine Dr and Laurel in Vancouver, where that Mcd is.

thanks for all your help...called Advanced and spoke to Alex and he is going to help me paint my calipers.
