I would do them for free if you removed and cleaned them, but I'm in between working ovens. Good luck. I should be picking up an oven in a bit to PC my new air ducts, hopefully soon.

Powder coating will be more durable but as many mentioned- HMS is a great place to get the calipers painted. I have had them do alot of my cars.

I had my GTR calipers powdercoated but that place doesnt do it anymore. Plus its alot more to do since the calipers have to be completely drained and taken apart. HMS is able to paint the calipers without removing them from the car.
