Default Recomendation for shop that can repaint calipers

Hi,

looks like Wheel Dynamics is no longer painting calipers
Does anyone have a good recommendation? (No I don't want to DIY it ;-)

did Fast Forward Wheels change their name to Wheel Dynamics?

FF Wheels did a good job on my GR Brembos but similar to OEM, they can only handle so much tracking...after a coupe seasons, I had to get them refinished again, which seems normal (fading/rock chips...)

I also used Centric, who rebuild your caliper and paint them but they do not do stickers/logos. Their finish lasted much longer but I had to sticker and clear the calipers myself. The color was also (obviously) more stoptech red, which is not GR but was close enough for a track car IMO.

I haven't done this since 2015, so my info is dated but I was really happy with both places for different reasons.

Since you’re in the Bay Area, Darin Fister does them in Brentwood. Or Sonic Motorsports in San Jose

Also, just FYI, you can get rebuild kits from Brembo or Centric and etc. to give to the person doing the work, so when they reassemble your calipers, they are reassembling it with new parts.

Yep. Usually we see torn dust boots (which is not the end of the world)

These guys were at RRVI.
They are one of the higher regarded shops for 911 calipers. Most of their site has early aircooled calipers but they do water cooled. Many were on display at RRVI.
