Paint Brake calipers
Hi all!
I want to paint my brake calipers red on my Cayenne. Does anybody know of a good place where that can be done around Montreal?
Thanks!

I do not know anyone in Montreal....but as an aside, in order to do it "correctly" so that the paint does not flake off prematurely due to heat, you'll want to get them "powder coated"......which entails a complete disassembly and reassembly/rebuild of the calipers......on top of the prep and painting costs.....have you considered that factor ?

Try Benny @ International Auto on St. Jacques between Cavendish and Decarie. He can paint just about anything. Otherwise, try the tuner shops like RMR etc. Also call Tim @ River Motorwerks in St. Constant. He is a mechanic who has a contact for powdercoating.
