Default Caliper refinishing?

Who does this work reliably? I have an incoming car that I want to change the color on the calipers.

My TTS had red calipers on it when I I bought the car. It threw me off at first, salesman said the customer had them powdercoated. It's a 2018, purchased with 12k miles and already racked them up to 17k. They look great and perfectly mimics the OE color/finish.


I'd seek out the most reputable powder coating shop or ask your dealer for a referral.

Do you plan to take the car to the track? That may dictate nether powdercoating or hi temp caliper paint is a better option.

Agreed.
There is even a high temp Cerakote option available but I think the colors are somewhat limited.
