To those who had ever painted their own calipers, does the paint turns out glossy and smooth like how the aftermarket calipers are? (kleeman, brembo) Any additional clear coating required?

Or you could do it yourself. 
It's not that hard.
I painted mine with G2 caliper paint. They can be purchased from many places like tirerack and other wheel store..
Here is mine
Regardz,

i actually have not had them do anything for me. a fellow volvo owner in alameda (iron worker...custom tables and stuff) recommended it. he had his 18" wheels powdercoated by them, and also had his 993tt porsche 4 piston calipers powdercoated black...red calipers looked too flashy on his black wagon. anyway...the finish was really nice for both the caliper and the wheels. if u need his contact for pricing, i can send u his too...

yeah, that would be great if you could give me his contact info. so i'm assuming that this place in oakland doesn't do all the work of cleaning the calipers, painting them, etc. do they just powdercoat only? i'm looking for a place that will do the whole works on my brake calipers. thanks again....

yeah, sure. the car used to be mainly in the santa cruz area. i bought it a couple months ago off him. it's pretty sweet. gotta take care of a few cosmetic things, but i wanna get it back to showroom quality. slowly, but surely....
