Looking to paint brake calipers red
I've ask around several shops in the sw Florida area and no one will do this. Does anybody know anyone in Florida who would do this? I need a referral, I don't have the time to do it myself so please do not respond telling me this. Message me if you or anyone you know would like to help me!

Yea powdercoating is a bit more durable but you still have to make sure not to get brake fluid on them when reinstalling and bleeding the brakes. Other wise you will mess them up again. Either way paint or powdercoating you have to be careful. If your powdercoating you have to disassemble the caliper by splitting the two sides in half and removing the pucks. Then just rebuild them it actually quite easy.

If you have a day to yourself there is a DIY forum to do it. Took me about an hour of sanding all 4 calipers, than after I sprayed them and that was easy. Only problem I noticed is that the brake fluid will eat away the clear coat and paint, but only when you firmly rub it. TBH it is not that difficult. I did the painting and a buddy of mine installed it all and so far it is holding up very well. Even when I ordered my calipers from Z1 motorsport they even told me straight up to do it yourself. No point wasting all this money for them to do it lol. odd I thought.
