    Default Painted Calipers

    Asking for a friend, but they are looking for a "good" paint shop to paint their calipers on the new car they bought as well as repaint the one's on their old car. Note the shop that did the first car no longer does it.

    Thanks

    Are the calipers actual Brembo/BBK calipers, or they regular baby brakes. If baby brakes....LOL, just get caliper covers

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I can only seem to paint calipers if the 5 star spokes are far enough apart to get a paint can in the spaces.

    If I have SSR Vienna rims, how do I get a paint to spray on calipers?
    I've tried putting a wd40 straw in the paint can nozzle. It kinda works if I tape it on but very hard.
    Advice?

    I was just joking about the covers. Please don't let her get them. She will be laughed at

    And seriously, don't paint brake calipers that aren't Brembo/BBK ones, they look silly and Fast and Furious if you do
