Does anyone here know of a place that will paint Brake Calipers?

I want to paint my Brembo's Red to match my taillights but opted against using the Brake Caliper Painting Kit they sell at the store. I want it to be the same color as our taillights. If you guys know of a person or place let me know. I would also like to put on white Brembo decals.

G2usa.com. I used there paint system. It is many stages above in quality compared to spray paint brake products. I added a little paint from the art store and matched the color with my pin strip; however the brembo stencil is very, very hard to do.

powdercoating is a good option. 2003z on g35frenzy.com is the guy to talk to for that.

Yea they are supposedly universal Brake Pad for 17" and over, but I believe our Brembos are a one piece so I'll probably call up Brembo and confirm.

Those are what the ricers put on their stock brakes to make it look like they have Brembos

This is actually one of the better options out there...

I checked on this awhile back for my car (I did in on my TL-S):
http://www.goldlinebrakes.com

It costs like $475 for the front set of calipers and you can have them painted red, black or silver. They mail them to you, you have them installed and then send back your original calipers and they then credit you $125 back for the core...

Happy hunting...
