I'd check out your local forum section on this site and enlist the help of a shop that can better tackle the rest of the job.

The paint looks good but for a rugged lasting appearance powder coat would be the best way. I had mine done and the shop removed everything and reassembled. You will want to do a rebuild on the calipers and put in a new o-ring. The last thing you want to do is get those installed and find out you cant stop.

way to ruin your brembos, amazing how people just really don't have much common sense these days. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that rubber, pistons, and nipples shouldn't be painted for it to function properly, and on top of all that, he did it on one the most dangerous part to mess with. go ask for a refund, but I'm pretty sure they'll look at you and say "it's exactly what you PAID us to do". Was the new Brembo logo painted or just another set of Brembo stickers but in black? Either way, the logo looks really homemade, the font doesn't look quite right.

gldgremlin, those powder coated calipers look great! PM me with info of where you got it done and how much they charged! Thanks bro!

OP: Good intent, bad execution. I honestly would go back and request a refund.

That sucks man. I think most of us know what it feels like to not be 100% satisfied with a shops work. Hopefully it all works out for you.
