Painted Calipers

bkunzi01 · 02-25-2009, 01:37 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?

nogoodname · 02-25-2009, 01:41 PM

I doubt it for a one day job

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

So you're going to act elitist and say "oh, its just nissan lol I forgot".

Why are you on here in the first place?

And as far as pricing goes, you could purchase one of these: High Perf Caliper Paint Kit and just do it yourself, shouldn't be more than $20.

But that would probably chip over time, not to mention time consuming. If I were you I'd get them powdercoated, but of course that's a bit more expensive, I'm guessing around $100, probably less, but you'd be without a car for a few days.

^^^ just owned someone....lol

they are BBK, non-sport are not worth painting

nogoodname · 02-25-2009, 03:23 PM

BBK = Big Brake Kit

comes with the sports package

!xoible · 02-25-2009, 03:59 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
