Painting Calipers in SD?

I'm looking to get my calipers painted on my G. Unfortunately, I don't have the space or equipment to do it on my own. Does any one know of a good shop, here in SD, that will do the job at a fairly decent price? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

please dont paint your stock calipers red... it just looks tacky. Why would you want your ugly little 2/1 piston calipers sticking out like a sore thumb? If anything, paint them silver or black. You are not driving a civic, you're driving an entry level luxury/sports car.

As for the Equipment, You can just use stock jack, tools in your trunk that came with the car. Don't forget to let it sit for at least 24 hours without driving.

As for the side note: Do not paint your stock calipers. As mentioned, Black or silver If you really wish to, but stock is the best. If anything Go with BBK!

where in SD are you? I can do it, but you need to let the car sit for an entire day before you drive it to let the paint cure.

You're showing off stock single or dual piston sliding calipers that are ugly to begin with. Painting them red just makes them uglier.
