Very nice Chris!

Every time I do mine, I can never get the allen bolts out that hold the metal plates that the pads slide on.

any good shop recommendations for refinishing calipers? Preferably in South Eastern PA, but willing to send them out to someone who could do factory finish or better.

Probably because they aren't allen bolts! LoL. Easy way is to just use a small socket driver using a 1/4" bit with the proper sized torx bit stuck into that.

What work, huh? That's why I took the ones my cousin did up in yellow off his hands for a few bucks and some horse trading. Good enough for my car.......... Now, I look at the beat up reds that came off the car, and am not really motivated to get them all pretty.

Default Chris should offer this service now...

...he has a baby/toddler to pay for, diapers, formula, college fund...maybe he'll ramp it up again and start refinishing calipers in his spare time?
