Default 350z Brembo Calipers Re-Paint in Houston

So I just bought a complete brembo brake kit it was unexpected since I wasn't really looking to buy brembo brakes but it was too sweet of a deal to just let pass by. The only bad thing is the paint job this guy try to do to the calipers I mean it's horrible so I'm basically looking for someone in HOUSTON, TX who will make them look like new. Sand them down and paint them. If you know how to do this that will be freaking great since I don't want to mess them up. Thanks a lot guys

Just Google for a local powdercoating shop. They'll bead-blast them down to bare metal, and powdercoating will provide the best looking and most durable finish.

In Houston, I've used these guys in the past for powder coating other projects, never for brake calipers. You'll probably have to fully disassemble them and just drop off what you want blasted and coated. They're top notch so you will pay for it. They're right across the street from Polydyn.

If you're okay with sending them out, there's a vendor here that rebuilds and coats. So all you'll have to do is send them out as is. Can't remember who it was, just search the vendor classified section.

have "http://www.thepowdercoater.com/" do it for you...Mike is great and does Nissan calipers all the time, and rebuilds your calipers correctly.

He is in Atlanta GA...but worth the freight bill.

Moved to your regional forum to help you with your search

I would definitely ask around and expect to pay around $450 (as I've been told)

I already disassembled the calipers took out the dust covers, seals and pistons since I'll be putting new ones and also new bleeders. I removed most of the paint with paint remover but it's just a pain in the a$$ since I don't have the patience. Most places I've called quoted me 250 but I met a guy who said he'll do it for 80 all 4 calipers!!! He showed me some of his work and he's pretty good.
