Caliper painting question
I'm thinking of painting my calipers, but there aren't any good shops where I'm located. I asked Kevin @ MB Buckhead if they could paint them and he said they don't recommend painting because they have seen paint sometimes get into the slides and rotor surfaces. I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this.
Also, if anyone knows of a good shop in the southeast (LA,MS,TN,AL,GA) that could paint mine, please let me know.

Ask Jason/Gregg/Tony at Buckhead Performance here in Atlanta. They've done a substantial amount of work on my car even though I still go to MB Buckhead for warranty work.

I personally don't like painted calipers on our cars, but if you want to go for it, go for it!
I painted mine on another vehicle with a multi-step process that never cracked or chipped.
