Painted Calipers

bkunzi01 · 02-25-2009, 02:37 PM

Hey guys just wondering what the average price to get calipers painted is and how long my car would be out of commission...can most people get this done in one day or what?

I doubt it for a one day job

gotta take it apart, then prep & paint......let it dry
and then back on the car

nogoodname · 02-25-2009, 03:32 PM

BBK = Big Brake Kit

comes with the sports package

!xoible · 02-25-2009, 04:59 PM

what people call BBK is something you drop over 5k on in aftermarket modification, not what ships with ur car. hence the poser argument

shumby · 02-25-2009, 05:17 PM

Let's keep it on topic. He didn't ask "what You guys think about it?" . Let the owner of the car do w/e he likes to do!
