Dunno anyone out there, but it is extremely easy. Harbor Motorsports in Anaheim does a great job at them.

NM, I just called them and they quoted $250 for removal/paint/install (inc. clearcoat) 'should' be done in 1 day weather-dependent. Not bad for the price.

I think you need special paint for brake calipers cuz of the heat...? will they also put the AMG lettering on there ? ...Im intersted in repainting my stoptech calipers.

Dude, HMS is the best at customer service!!! I'm getting mine done there asap (as soon as the TB is installed).

I don't know the technical stuff. I just know I've seen lots or calipers that they paint and the finish is mint. I even think they have been playing with getting the right combination of paint and clearcoat for heat.

Yes, they can do any emblem. Some were getting Brembo, but I just want the AMG again.

I can't see anything in your link, but I have seen HMS do an AMG (maybe VIC's) with candy apple red calipers with brembo lettering.

I see it now. I dunno if that is candy apple or my angle is off. Either way, they can do whatever color.

Dude, I am friends with the owners of HMS. They will do you right. If you want to make sure, mention anyone from here or myMB. Trust me, the price is rock bottom for the work you get and that isn't even the best part. Once you go there, you become a regular and that is what is cool. Go check the place out.
I'm getting mine done sometime this week or next (depending on Vadim and HMS's schedules) since the car is just down the street (long a$$ harbor), so we can do both at the same time if you want?

$250 is very reasonable, just suggested as a nice meet and I'm cheap and could go for $50 discount...lol
