Anybody paint brake calipers in Houston, TX??

lt_370z · 11-11-2013, 11:15 AM

Looking for somebody who has experience or is good at painting brake calipers. I am willing to pay for the labor (as long as it's reasonable) and the parts necessary to complete the job. I know people do this themselves all the time but I don't like messing with that stuff and would rather pay somebody to do it. Referrals? Thanks in advance.

I did mine my self. I looked at all the brands, the two part you have to be able to do all four at the same time. (Jack up the whole car.) The VHT, the parts need to be baked at 200 degrees. Since I could only do one side, front & rear, at a time. I used the Dupli-Color. Worked great. Painted them in place with taping off and paper covering things. It's been over 6 months, no peeling, I'm happy. $20.
