Calipers painted in Los Angeles! $200 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had a guy come to my place and paint my calipers. I picked the color and the logo. After that he cleaned, masked, painted, put on the logo and cleared my calipers for $200

I had thought about doing it myself, but there is no way I could have made them look this good.

If you want to have it done , let me know and I will put you in contact with him.

I might be interested. How did you find this person. Just concerned about a shady character. The calipers look great. I would do the same color, but, maybe with black decals. Could this person paint my stock mufflers black with the correct paint? Please PM me. Thanks.

Masked off or not your asking for over spray if he's doing it like that. Did you at least have a car cover on? Looks good though.

I did not have the car covered. But he has more paper between the painted surface and the car. It worked out.

I looked at the g2 paint cans. But that was $99 and then I still need to buy the stickers and the clear as well as the stripping and cleaners.

So I'm sure it would have come out the $200 in the end if I did it myself, But then it wouldn't have looked as good and I would have had to do all the work myself.

Total time was about 3 hours, and then I let the cars sit and dry for 2 hours more.

Wish he was in Texas. That's a deal!

I had mine done yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Very nice and knowledgeable car guy. He painted my OEM mufflers at the same time to get rid of the suitcases. Highly recommend him. Can't beat the price and service. Thanks to the OP Cabbe for turning me on to him.
