ACG now offering Caliper Painting with no down time!

We have gotten tired of having cars down a few days to paint calipers correctly, so we have gone ahead and ordered new Calipers to use as a core Swap!

Therefore, we are now able to paint calipers a head of time before installs, or even have them painted and shipped to you. Allowing everyone to have a quick one day turn around with a proper caliper painting job.

Price will be $600 for all standard colors, and $700 for any 2 stage or pearl colors. Prices include AMG, or Brembo Decals. A core deposit will be required.

This also would be a great time to upgrade to our stainless Brake Lines

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am down. I have PM'd you and indicated a color. I ordered some Forgestar form Tal and seem to sweetened the deal.

How is this going to work?

(PS- It also gave you a bump for the holiday's, as this was buried on page 3)

I just had Tal and the guys at ACG install my freshly painted red calipers and a new set of Porterfield R4-S pads. No more annoying brake squeak! They did a great job and are a great group of guys. Car looks so meaner with them. Bump for them and whoever gets my calipers next and the guys over at ACG doing this for people.

I do have a ton of pictures of most all the colors we have done. Just send me an email and I can reply.

Give Khan a call and he can definitely work something out!

Too many to list
Talking This guy...I'm telling you...lol

Brakes Look great. Could you tell me about the process you use to paint them and what the longevity would be for color retention? I mean will they fade over time while battling brake dust and exterior conditions?

Do you use any clear coats? How many?

If I didn't mind any down time, how long would it take to paint and ship the exact calipers from my vehicle?

thx me---->

All factory brembo's (like the ones currently on your car right now) are all painted.

We use the exact same process. Taping all the parts off that you don't want paint touching, prepping for paint, spray, apply decals and clear coat.

If you didn't mind down time it would at most take a week to complete a paint job on a set of calipers. That plus shipping time here and back.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
