Where can I go get brake calipers painted in Seattle area?

[Bloody_Angel]

Hi guys, I just picked up my 2014 SS last night and unfortunately the brake calipers are dark grey. Does anyone know a good place I can go to to have them painted in red? I live in Bellevue, WA.

Also, is it necessary to have the brakes "rebuilt" after they're painted. Since Goldlines brake quoted ~700$ to paint them and "rebuild" them

Thanks!

Painting your calipers is a good DIY project

Do it yourself, if you want to paint, but if you want them powdercoated you will have to remove and take them to a local powdercoating place.

Cost of paint and remove wheels and prep.

Will I risk damaging anything if I paint it myself? I've never done this before :|

I initially ran with the caliper covers to make sure I liked the color scheme before painting. Then I removed and painted them when the car was on the stands for the AGP twin turbo install. Quick pics from the build thread.

No there's no need to have your calipers rebuilt.

Caliper covers wouldnt work for me cause my rear wheels barely have enough room to slide a piece of paper between them and the calipers

Can't believe "Goldlines" quoted you 700.00.. and the need to rebuild a 2014 Caliper is beyond belief.. bring the car to Monroe this weekend and I will help you do it yourself.. will be putting a set of 2012 SS mags on my 94 GMC truck in a warm cozy shop across from Jim Greens Speed Center.. bring some red spray paint and a little reducer or thinner to clean them with.. or we can go to the local NAPA store in town and buy what you need..
Edit:
Ha,Ha.. UPS dropped off the custom built
adapters(42mm thick w/5x5 to 5x120mm bolt pattern "Motorsport Tech"
billet 6061 Aluminum)
and are on the truck... look and drive great!!

Gonna show Saturday? Otherwise will be takin' the Grandson Dirt Kart Racing instead.. let me know?

D: omg I didn't get any notifications when people posted in this thread T_T. Anyway, I decided I'll just have the brakes painted instead of powdercoating or whatever goldlines does cuz 700$ is insane. My issue is I live in an apartment with a 1 car garage and there's no flat surface anywhere for me to work on so I still need to have someone paint them for me =(. Can I just bring it to any body shop? And what would be a reasonable price? Thanks!
