Dress Up Your Brake Calipers
Whether you’ve got small 2 pot brakes or large 6 pots, they look better with a fresh lick of paint. Spruce up your boring stock cast silver calipers, or your aging painted ones.
We take the right precautions for your vehicle(s), masking what needs to be covered and both sides of the caliper get the love… not just the front!

We spray calipers while on the car.
We do not remove calipers in order to spray them. We are not licensed mechanics, therefore we can be held liable for damages should anything go wrong – no matter how simple the process might be. Our service is drive in and drive out (usually same day). No need to be left without your car for days or weeks because you had to take it to a mechanic to remove the calipers, take them to us and so forth.
Choose Your Colour
Our standard choices of colours are from VHT’s range of caliper paints – which are basically identical to those produced by Brembo.
Colours are not limited to the caliper range, they also offer some in other categories like Burnt Copper Engine Metallic. The colours are really close matches to popular Brembo ones. Gold is featured on the classic Subaru WRX STi, Real Orange is used on some Lexus, McLaren or Ford models, Bright Yellow for a HSV or Porsche, Burnt Copper for your AMG Carbon Ceramics and much more.
For custom colours, there will be an additional charge for ordering mixed paint. In order to use your desired colour, we can only work off of a paint code. Your choice must be based off a factory colour offered from a manufacturer – for example, Porsche’s Miami Blue (a popular colour) has a widely available code (M5C).
We Cut Logos In-House
Using our own plotter machine, we can cut any logo using single coloured vinyl. We have all the main designs on file, such as Brembo, HSV, AMG, Porsche, Tesla, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Golf R, Lexus and much more.
Please note, we only cut from rolls of vinyl, no printing. Logos that are multi-coloured such as Toyota GR, Lexus F-Sport or Audi RS, will have to be purchased else-where and then supplied to us to install them.
We don’t recommend getting logos for small 2 pot brakes. The surface area is usually too small on most designs whereas the larger 4/6 pots have flat faces for logos to be applied. It can look crowded and funky with logos on small brakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we remove brake calipers before painting?

Can you get brake calipers painted on any vehicle?
We can paint any calipers whether they are bog standard Subaru Impreza brakes, big HSV Brembos or regenerative brakes for Toyota Crowns, Teslas, BYDs and more.
Do you have to remove brake calipers in order to paint them?
Calipers do not need to be removed in order to paint them. We prep the calipers on the vehicle and carefully mask everything around it.
Do we paint the whole caliper?
We paint the whole caliper, front and back.
Do we apply clear coat to the calipers?
We spray all brake calipers with a high gloss clear coat to protect the colour from fading.
How long will the paint last for?
The paint should last around 3-5 years before any notable degradation sets in. Please note, calipers can get stone chips and clear coat will eventually peel. Even factory Brembo clear coat degrades on regularly driven performance cars within a few years.
Do we supply and apply logos?
Yes, we cut logos in our workshop and apply them ourselves. We have files for majority of manufacturers logos and styles.
Do we apply logos under or above the clear coat?
We apply the logos before we spray the clear coat to ensure they don’t peel and discolour.
