Default Paint emblem/grill/calipers

Should I just go to Tommy @ music box to get my emblems, grille, painted? Do you guys know how much he charges for everything?

what color do you want them painted? if you want them painted black, i suggest using plastidip. easy to mess around with, you can always peel it off whenever you want.

Don't plastidip the calipers.

I'm sure Tommy can paint the emblems and grille, but plastidip also works on them. I know he does a great job on the calipers though. Not sure how much he will charge for everything. I think he said it takes 4 hours to paint the calipers and dry.

What he said, just pick up the G2 caliper paint. Has the instructions and really is super easy to follow. I've done it on my other cars and it has held up even after extended track days. Whatever you do, don't use the spray on stuff, doesn't hold up as well over time with all the heat cycling.
