I hate deer - no seriously

I was going to have Mike powder coat my calipers red and stencil on the nismo logo while the car was in the shop. Guy at the shop literally just said to me, "sorry we can't remove the calipers because it would render the car immobile".

Thought about it for a minute and called him back and said that's silly and he basically kept making excuses why he wouldn't do it (even after I offered to pay him for "labor" - just to avoid the inconvenience of adding more downtime).

Disappointed. I am absolutely not mechanically inclined but I'm pretty sure I can remove the calipers, bleed the brake lines and put them back on. Blah.
