Greetings from the Gila Valley! I painted my own calipers, just use a brass brush. I gave them 3 coats after they dried, I could have gave one more coat. Don't forget to seal them!  Good luck!!?

Who in the Phoenix area paints brake calipers. Did check out Midway Chevrolet and they want around 1500$.

$ 1495.00 and I'll throw in a set of stainless  covers.

j/k

Take your time and do them yourself, there are plenty of threads here to show you how. Just check the search engine on top of the page. Welcome to the forum by the way.:)

It will take less time to do it yourself than running to, having them paint and the going back to get. You're talking a few hours on a weekend to do it.

This the reply I got from Classic Gold

(No we don't it does not hold up to the heat. It is better to get them powder coated but we don't do that. Call Wheel Specialists and they might be able to give you the name of a company that powder coats.
Hope this helps)

Pay someone on here to do it. It is beyond easy and I'm sure someone on here will spend the few hours for a few hundred bucks.

I ran the 1/2 mile event last year and was turning the front rotors blue with heat. The paint held up just fine. So unless you are doing track days where you fry a set of pads in a day I think basic paint wth High heat base coat will hold up to daily use.

Ditto, mine have held up very well 6+ years.

I did mine 7 years ago with a $5 rattle can from ACE hdwe. Not even hi-temp, since regular spray paint is good to 350+ and calipers don't get that hot driving on the street. Took me about 2 hours, 'cause I'm an old geezer. Most of the time was to R & R the wheels.
