    caliper painting

    I was trying to see if there is anyone competent here in Ireland or up north who could paint a full set front and rear brembo gt calipers, im reluctant to send to the uk as shipping will be high and not sure on the extra taxes and charges, the calipers are in good condition and woudnt need parts replaced etc so was wondering if it could be masked up properly and changed from black to the bmw gold or yellow colours etc and the brembo logo put back on.
    i still have my performance bmw kit so can refit that while these are being done. any info appreciated

    I don't think shipping to the UK will be that severe, and you're sending them for repair, so no VAT or duty is applicable. Tallaght Powder Coating did a set of calipers for me in the past though - if they're fully stripped for them I don't think they'd have an issue doing them.

    I done these and a few other sets myself and still perfect after a couple of years and few trackdays.


    Used old bleed nipples to keep the threads and ports clean and replaced them and dust seals then when all cured.
