Can anyone recommend a quality outfit for paiting my calipers

Now, this car is very special to me, a 2015 M6 Gran Coupe....so Im wanting a perfect job......

The standard calipers as you know are blue, and Im wanting to paint them in 'lambo orange'

Ideally a one stop place who can remove the calipers themselves is preferred, but I appreciate most places will just want the calipers handing over to them and I can deal with that if its within West Yorkshire.....or reasonably close

Thanks in advance

Not really. I was quoted almost a grand to repaint a set of calipers on a Panamera. I paid £350 on a set of Evo calipers.

The quote was for a colleagues car, he winced when I told him the price and decide to leave them standard.

The Evo caliper price didn’t include seals which were £150. Those were 4 pot fronts and 2 pot rears, had to send them off and wait a while.

Your quote seems reasonable to me.

I paid Leicester Lamborghini, £1000.00 to do mine when I had it serviced last year, and they were obviously working on a good mark up.

Clean Detail in Doncaster - had them done on my previous car there and they did a great job, think it was £85 per caliper.
