Question Professional brake caliper painters ??????

I would like to know for the future if anyone knows of such a company that will paint brake calipers ?
Preferably in the Sussex area, where I can send them in the post or take them there myself.

Cheers Guys and Girls

Kev.

Are we talking subaru 4 pots? If so get them send blasted and then paint them yourself. I did, have a look here.

No we are talking AP six pots, I painted them myself already a year ago, and before I sell them, rather than try to take the paint off (which might result in me damaging them) I thought I would send them off to get properly painted.

I have no idea if they are aluminium, I dont think they are, they came new, in the usual matt black finish with the yellow writing,

Nobody know of any companies, I'll even consider anywhere in the UK if I have to post them?

There's a place in Edinburgh called Bead Blasting Services, they powder coat theatrical lights for us, I'd assume they'd sand blast em first, then coat.
Try googling for their number and see if they can help.

Good luck.

Kev, the 'usual matt black finish' is i believe anodising.... i doubt you'll be able to 'undo' that process..... it might even pay to try and remove the paint that you've put on and get them back to the original finsh.....

99.9% sure they're alloy if they're six pots!
