Default Calipers painted

hey guy, I don't want to upset some of you, but I want to have my F's calipers painted from a shop. I don't have too much free time and even then I live in an apartment complex, so I cannot take the time to do it myself. Where would I go to have a shop paint my calipers in a brembo red and add the decals on them.

you may want to check with the regional forum, pretty sure someone local could point you to a good shop

Had mine done at a local body shop. Came out great. Just make sure they are good at their craft and you'll be fine.

I have had this done on 2 previous G37's and will do it by end of the month on the ISF as well. Local body shop that works on widebody GTR's, R8's and other builds did it. I chose not to have it powdercoated which requires taking them off, just painted. Was under $300 with custom decals and looked great. I am in MD though.

Just watch out for those shops that want $700+ for it up in Norcal. Not even powder-coated.

It can easily be a diy job...I've done probably 9-10 cars, but paid to have my F done as it's just way easier to pay the shop that did mine here the $150 they charged instead of me taking an entire day to do them (correctly).
