Default Any shop that rebuilds and paint calipers??? Need help thanks

Very simple I guess but need a locals help.
I have a set of 350 brake calipers, currently painted red. Just calipers, rotors already taken off.

I would like to know if anyone can recommend a shop where I can drop them off and they will take care of the painting and even better if they will rebuild them for me (seals,etc)


If you have a phone number would be greatly appreciated.

You can rebuild a caliper pretty easily yourself, get the seal kit and a small hone, and provided the piston isnt messed up/burred its a pretty quick job.

Not sure about getting them rebuilt, but have you considered powder coating them?

I've been powder coating things myself in the garage, not too hard if you wanted to do it yourself. But I'm sure there are some shops around you. I know we have atleast 5-6 powdercoating shops here in jacksonville
