Brake Caliper Painting

[A4A4A4]

Does anybody know of a shop in Calgary that are able to paint brake calipers? I just bought a set of these rotors (see picture) and don't want my nasty rusting brake calipers ruining the look so I figured I might as well paint them. I'd do it myself but I may just be the worst painter of all time and would much rather trust a pro (or at least someone with a steady hand) Thanks in advance.

Calgary Auto Works would do it. They would charge you to remove them though, but they would do it right.

Thanks, I'll definitely shoot them an email. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

I'm still not sure whether I'm going red or black, what do you guys think?

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

do sumthin different like blue or yellow, red is overdone in my opinion. Gold might look ok on a black car

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

Yeah the gold color the brembo's come in

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

I don't think I'm gonna do anything too out there. I'm the kind of guy who once I have a theme going I'll stick with it. So with that being said my only options that can really tie into my car really are black, red, silver, white, and maybe blue.

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

Id say red in that case

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

Have to go with Red.

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

red or black. It depends what your theme is. Red stands out and looks sporty, as black looks stock and non-noticeable. I painted my calipers red on my black GTI VR6. I like the sporty look though.

Re: Brake Caliper Painting

I personally like black in this case, more classy and less boy racerish. The car looks fantastic, I think that red would spoil that look, but that's just my opinion. I had red calipers on a Porsche, and it looked great, but that's a totally different car and they actually came in red from the factory (not on that model though).

For the audis, I'm all about the subtle, classy look.
