anyone got their calipers painted in Chicago burbs
Pls post name of shop that will paint my calipers for me. Related. I was wondering if anyone has been using those $200 MGP caliper covers for a while. (any rattling noise or issues ?). I know Brembo covers are also available for $40 but that looks too cheesy.. thanks

For those wanting to get their calipers painted in the western burbs and rust sanded around the rotors and painted a friend of mine recently got his car done at Bob Carter Body shop in downers grove. They did a really good job. I am getting mine done this week. Will post pics once it warms up. Very fair price. http://bobcartersautobody.com/

you take your own paint and give to them. i am just planning on using the matte black vht high temp caliper paint available at Autozone and silver high temp vht for the stuff below shiny rotors. They will quote you on phone just call them. (below $300)

Less than 300 TO PAINT THESE!? That's absurd. My buddy paid 150.00 and that was because he powder coated them ad they hand painted BMW on them.
I thought more like 50 bucks. Oh well I guess ill just clean my caliper up. |

sonax is for wheels. not going to cut if for baked on brake dust.
simple green may do it if you let them soak in it for a few hrs.
