Power Coat / Painted Calipers

Hi guys,
I have 2011 S63, would like to get the Brake Calipers re-done either Painted or Powder Coated. Do you guys know where or Who that you recommended?
PLEASE let me know
Thanks,
Bao

do it yourself. All you need is a wire brush, high temp paint, several small foam brushes and some painters tape. Take your time and this type paint dries slowly. Left overnight and did a light re coat and caught a few small areas that I missed the first time. Went with a Satin black vs the usual red. Just wanted a clean look with the new rims.

All you need is a wire brush and high temp spray paint.

I don't mask it, just rotate the disc after and brush off the overspray.

Flush the brake fluid while you're down there. Plain DOT 3 lasts longer than Euro DOT 4.
