Hey guys, I've been wanting to get my calipers painted for awhile now. I know it's and easy job, but I don't trust myself lol. I asked pep boys todays when I got some new tires and they said they wouldn't do it. A few friends said they'd do it for around 60$, I don't mind paying at all, but I don't want it to come out like crap. I'd rather have someone who has done it before do the job. Anyone know a good place or friend in Nothern Jersey that'd do a good job?

 

dude i can show you how to do it yourself for the cost of the paint......dont be reduiculous and pay some one!.....buy beer and ill show you myself!

 

Hey I'll buy a keg if you come down to MD and do mine for me

 

dude thats over 100 in gas and tolls for me.....

 

ChrisM, i PM'd you.

 

gotcha back

 

hey, let me know if/when you are going to do this. I live around princeton and want to paint my calipers as well.

 

diy day?......why dont you guys come to the meet in PA and ill bring my tools

 

i'll lend a hand if thats the plan.

i actually have a ton of paint left over from mine (red for the caliber, black for the inside rotor rust and dust shield), i could bring it plus whatever brushes i have left in addition to caliber cleaner and so forth.

**** I have work. I'll try my best to get free though.

 

Wow, Chris......not dynoing? Just kidding, gotta keep that car looking mint so you can get some trophies.

I finally made it here. Now all I need is a RX.

 

so buy one adam.....come to the meet in pa!

 

I wanna do my rotor hubs and calipers too. but doesnt it take more than a day, with all the multiple coats and drying?

 

nope, one day, one coat, i did mine in the morning and was driving around at night.

 

If anyone in NJ is still interested in caliper painting, feel free to msg me, i offer private caliper painting service with professional skills!

i've painted Porsche 911, Cayenne, BMW X3, Honda CRV, and Mercedes GLK

 

id just powder coat them... billy @ needpowerdercoating is very well priced

 

Hi do you still paint calipers ??

 

lol that post is years old not to mention he was trying to sell a service without being a site vendor which is a no no

its easy, paint them yourself

 

FYI, realize that many of us live in small, city apartments, park on the street, and have no garage to keep tools, ramps and other equipment in. No place to store them and no place to work on the car. So we can't change our own oil, install aftermarket equipment or paint our brake calipers.

 

all of that sounds terrible and nothing i would ever subject myself to. i guess thats why some people pay for easy work

 

Interested

 

I seriously doubt the dude is still around the forum.

Just about any body shop can do this kind of work.
