For those of you in the Los Angeles Area (San Fernando Valley) who are interested in getting your calipers painted, there is a great shop I went to that does an excellent job for an affordable price. If you dont have $2,000-$4,000 to spend on a new brake system but want a similar look, this is definitely a great alternative. The place is called Kenny's Tires and is on Sherman Way, just west of Reseda. It is on the south side of the street. If anyone is seriously interested, post a reply and I will post the phone number and exact address. Just call and ask for Sara, she will give you pricing, just tell her Brian with the Black G35 sent you. I believe its about $100, and for that you get all your calipers painted, along with a complete rotor and pad cleaning. They can do whatever color you want, apparently some girl wanted her H2's calipers hot pink, and they did. They also do wheels, tires, lowering kits, powder coating etc. In fact they also sent out Rob Dyrdrek's "Murdered Out" Tahoe to get painted in Flat Black. Anyways, here is a picture of my painted stock calipers for reference.

 

sorry..nay

 

give me their info...i'm thinking about murdering my wheels

 

ive always wanted to paint my brakes a different color just for the hell of it, but dont know how to do it properly myself. if only there was a place like that in the bay area.

 

They painted the brake pads?

 

no not the actual pads, the calipers that hold the pads.

 

Obviously you don't know how how the pad sits in the caliper. Look at your pic, it clearly shows the brake pads were painted as well

*ask for Sarah, she will take care of you

 

Yep looks like the pads are painted. I have always thought about if pads could be painted since I have Project Mu NS pads and those are icky teal colored. I was hoping enough dirt would cover up the color.

 

good idea for those who don't wanna spend big bucks, but i would never want to intentionally show off or bring more attention to the tiny stock (non-brembo) calipers. if i painted them, i'd paint them black..

 

Nothing wrong with painting the pads, mistake or not. It's not going to affect their performance.

 

took the words outta my mouth

 

thx hammer

 

i wonder how they would look painted greyish-silver (the OEM color)

just to freshen them up

 

how do you think blue calipers would look on a black sedan?
