Looking to get my calipers painted, I know HMS did it, but they closed. Anyone else around orange county do it? Thanks!

For calipers it is..... its 80 miles south LOL

Try SPP in Placentia (Supreme Power Parts)... they can paint without pulling off the calipers and bleeding. Im gonna get the R8 done there soon.

But if you did the swap program, it's only one day shipping each way.

So they just swap callipers? How much do they charge if you don't mind telling?

Thanks for the replies, all!!

Yes it is a core exchange, they can paint them any color and you give them back yours. And you can choose what emblem you want, I went with the same AMG style opposed to the new AMG style since my car is pre-facelift. PM Tal he is on here great guy, there is also a thread just search caliper I think and it should come up from ACG. I paid a little more at the time since I bought Porterfield pads. They did the install and everything and all went great.

I am sure Tal will chime in when he sees this thread.

EBay has the decals. I just finished painting my calipers red using the G-2 kit.
Pretty easy job. Took 3 hours because I had to let the epoxy paint set up between coats.

I have extra decals if you want to try the DIY project.

Check my Photobucket site for pics.
