Default calipers

Can someone hook me up with somebody who does the caliper paint on an exchange basis?
I think I want LMB calipers.

There is a guy on the forum and his forum name is corvettepilot. You can PM him or go to his web site here. http://www.thepowdercoater.com

Hope that helps.

The Powdercoater does an excellent job. Got the Candy Apple Red, they are killer!

He ships them then you ship back the exchange units, took 3-4 weeks at that time. My dealer put them on upside down! Be sure to look at the calipers before and after the dealer does his thing.....

Guitarstar's are painted. My powdercoating costs $230, including shipping.

Paint or powdercoat are the same. The only exception is, whoever paint the calipers is $smarter$

Paint and powdercoating are NOT the same. You certainly can paint them yourself cheaper, but powdercoating is much more durable. It is baked on. I love my LMB powdercoated calipers that Mike did for me.
