I need to get my wheels refurbished as some of the paint is peeling off due to a dealer having done a quick job before I purchased in Feb 2010. My question is has anybody had their brake calipers repainted as mine look 5hite with patches of rust. Would a wheel refurbisher do the lot for me and has anybody had these done together. Years ago I would have a go myself but my knees are knackered and I can't be arsed and would prefer to pay for it.
All help appreciated, I am not far from Coventry.

the larger ones are the Porsche 993tt calipers and the smaller ones are the S60R rear calipers. I thought id paint them same colour as the car. Aint turned out too bad to be honest. And the Brembo stickers are the heat resistant ones from a local guy who does graphics.

im only about 25-30 minutes away, so dont mind helping out.....

Did those calipers go straight on Chad or did you make adapters ?

The brackets were from CJ Yother in the USA.
