Need recommendations in NY for brake caliper painters
Hey guys I just recently bought a set of C32 AMG brake calipers for my white 01 c240 the paint on them is not in the best of conditions so I was wondering if any members in the New York area ever paint their brake calipers and could recommend a place where I could do the same. As for the color, I am planning to get, them painted the stock silver or if you guys had, any ideas or recommendations please let me know your thoughts on it. I know rareamg did his in yellow (and it looks super nice) but I dont know how nice that would look on a white car. Thanks for the help everyone.

just do it yourself. Its even easier since there not even on the car yet. Just buy low grind sand paper. High temp engine primer and high temp engine paint.
sand paint off, 3 layers of primer, 3 layers of paint and your done.
i would say 3hrs max and less then $40.

Another vote on doing it yourself.
I would buy one of the kits with the spray paint, as long as you spray it on from FAR AWAY so that you get LIGHT coats and let it dry between, you really cant screw it up!! Even if it comes out less than perfect, it will be pretty hard to notice small imperfections considering where it's going to be located.
