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.

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.

**sheppy1** · 2:nd-Apr-2016, 10:44:35

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

**sheppy1** · 2:nd-Apr-2016, 13:03:53

They quoted me £150!
