Default Seeking shop to spray/paint brake calipers!

Hello everyone,

I live in the Bay Area, and I was wondering if anyone has a good shop recommendation that can paint or wrap my brake calipers on my 2016 IS350 FSPORT.

I've gotten quotes ranging from $500 for paint and $800 for wraps for all 4 calipers, and that just seems outrages.

Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated!

How was the quality and timing of their work? Got any pics on your car/calipers?

Quality is pretty good, just have to clean/wash regularly so the brake dust doesn't get into the paint. If you wash your car normally you'll be fine. Here are pics of what the looked like son after being done:

Looks good. Was it just paint or power coated? And he did the decal stickers too ?

And all 4 calipers for $100??? That's hella cheap!

How long was your car in the shop tho?

I believe it is just paint. Yes he took off the sticker and reapplied after they were dry. Yes all 4 calipers for $100. It was in the shop for a couple of hours.......I waited each time.

Ohhh sounds good. And you were able to drive off right away? Paint was dried?

I'll contact him, sounds like a good work and awesome price. The last shop I contacted wanted $1000 + 3 days in the shop. -___-

Yes for that price and time it's worth giving Larry a call. Even if He's gone up a touch you're still coming out much better.

He emailed me back. He said it would be $150 for all 4, and probably around 2 hours.

I'll make an appointment with him when I have a free day. But thanks for the recommendation. Much appreciated.
