Shops In SoCal That Does Caliper Paint Work?

I've been thinking about changing my caliper color since I think the original silver is too subtle. I saw a new CTS-V wagon with yellow calipers and man, that thing looked bad. I'm thinking about painting my calipers ferrari yellow or something nice, but I'm looking for a shop in SoCal that does decent work at a decent price. I had a friend give me a quote of $500 and that's if I take off the calipers and bring it to him, but that's not gonna happen.

Does anyone have prior experience with a SoCal shop that did great work at a even better price? Color suggestions and pics would be cool, too. Oh, and my E55 is black.

Check this guy out.

He's in Huntington Beach, inside a vehicle wrap place. Basically, they wrap the cars and he does all the customizing stuff. I think he charges $500-600 for caliper painting, but all you have to do is drop off the car and pick a color.

Here's some pics of his work.





Here's a Ferrari that he did the calipers yellow.

I have a paint guy in Santa Ana, that does this for a really good price. He painted my bbk on my C230 white and the 6/4pot on my clk red. He also painted my clk Yellow. He usually stocks Ferrari yellow just for brakes. The shop isn't the prettiest place and in the greatest of areas but he does a good job. He paints with the calipers on the car but masks off everything and only takes a few hours. He can also put on any decal you want, You just have to provide it.

His name is Fernando (714) 631-2486(mobile)

tell him Roland(with yellow clk) sent you.
