Brake caliper painting - pricee - 1:st-Apr-2016

Hi GUYS,
Can anybody recommend a company in south Manchester/Cheshire area to paint my brake calliper's ?

cheer's in advance

I would like to know this too and I'm also near the Manchester area! I know it's "easy" enough to do ourselves but finding the time and weather to do it is impossible.

No Probs mate, got a quote from smartwheels £120 for all four callipers.


RE: Brake caliper painting - sheppy1 - 2:nd-Apr-2016

Bloody hell! That's a rip off! I was thinking 50 quid max! I'll do it myself haha

Sheppy... The garages around you must be well cheap, an hours labour in a back street Garage around us is about £50, so if anyone knows a garage that can take all 4 corners off and paint all 4 callipers correctly and put all corners back on within an hour I would consider kissing their feet lol.


RE: Brake caliper painting - sheppy1 - 2:nd-Apr-2016

Well they're generally not that cheap TBH haha. But I am comparing that quote to the fact that someone spent 4 hours doing a mobile refurb job on my two alloys and charged me 100 quid. I am also comparing it to another garage that was going to spend up to 2 hours welding a new exhaust pipe onto my current pipe and they only wanted £70


RE: Brake caliper painting - sheppy1 - 2:nd-Apr-2016

They quoted me £150!
