I know this may have been asked before, but as the search function is now even worse than the one on SN2 (only possible as it's missing!!!!) I shall ask it again.
I want to change the colour of the calipers on our MY03 STI from gold to blue (similar to WR blue). I love the finish on the current calipers, but the gold colour is just awful - not up for debate - and if other people like it that's fine - just not to our tastes.
Anyone know anywhere in the NW area who can do this and get the same standard of lacquered finish. Not bothered about the Brembo logos, but if they were to remain I'd want them in white or silver (not red).
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Don't mind having a go myself and when I've done it in the past the results have always looked pretty good, but the finish on these is way better than stuff I've done in the past either before or after I have tampered with it.
Was just wondering about a professional job.
Thanks for the reply.

tiggers,
Any decent spray shop will be able to do them in WR blue but must be in 2K paint and laquer, only this will withstand the heat generated. Did mine 2 tears ago and still look as new.
