    Painting Calipers

    Hey Guys,

    Anyone know any places in Melbourne to get the calipers painted? What cost should I be expecting?

    Thanks!

    Just DIY, it is stupidly easy, takes less than 2 hours including preparation time, and will cost you $15 paint, and $10 for wire brushes, and say $5 for the wax and grease remover. So many how too's on the internet.
    But if you just want someone else to do it I got quoted something like $30 a caliper, and a whole day with your car. Just google automotive painter melbourne, plenty of option, go with the cheapest quote, can't go to wrong with calipers.

    price depends on what paint is used...
    i only ever use 2 pack paint on anything that needs to handle heat. single pack (i.e. spray cans) can't cope with heat nearly as well.
    but obviously 2 pack isn't cheap!

    just go to Autobarn, grab a few cans of caliper paint, sand and clean the calipers really well (otherwise the paint wont stick), and give them a few coats. As swainey said it wont take long, its a cheap method, and it does a reasonable job.

    but if you want to spend the money, any auto paint shop should do it, wont be cheap though
