Can someone explain to me please how this works again....I'm a little slow. I am interested in doing this in the future but would want to do a swap out, send me some new painted Brembos and I send you mine once I make the swap correct?

So what is the out of pocket cost?

You pay a certain amount upfront as if your buying them new and then get a refund once you have sent back your original unpainted calibers?

Enlighten me please

JProberts: I have not done this but have read all of the posts, from what I get the initial out of pocket is $600 plus shipping ( I saw one post say $30 for shipping). You only pay when Mike is ready to start the work on your calipers. After yours are done and you send him back your un-coated calipers from your car he will refund you $300 of the $600 you initially paid. It is called a core charge if you are familiar with it. If you can live without your car for a week or so you can take your calipers off your car and send them to Mike and he can coat them and send them back a little quicker. I can't speak of times because I don't work for Mike, I am just trying to shed some light. I hope this helps and if I got something wrong please correct me. Thanks

Thanks for the info Pretty much how I was thinking this would work. Seems like something I may consider down the road. Still working/paying for some of the suspension mods I'm doing now but definitly will consider doing this. Think this would look real nice on my car with the split 5 spoke rims I'm sportin'

Thanks! You summed it up perfectly, except the core charge is 350.

Mike - You have any pictures with metallic silver calipers on a dark colored car like the RJT? Want to see what the contrast looks like. And per my PM you can but me on the list for sure.

[Treefrog]

Had my calipers on for a couple weeks now. A little late posting these pics.. I think they look great and Mike did a hellofjob on them! Can't say enough about his professionalism..

[Treefrog]

And Mike, how can I get that zr1 blue in a spray can?? tried at the gm parts counter.. they couldn't find it..

This should give you an idea, its on a CTS-V, but same color combo.

Ahhh yeah I like those! That may be the way to go for me. The lettering really stands out in silver.

[BozFour]

[robertway]

Anyone done a Red caliper on a SIM car, I am looking for something along the lines of a Victory Red color and would like to see if there are any examples of that combo out there on the Camaro.

Thanks in advance...

[ddavis]
