    I can get black bolts for it but black wheel caps are much cheaper lol

    The caliper painter has a 2 year warranty on his work and told me it should be good for 10 years+ as he primes it does 2 coats of color puts the label on then 2 gloss coats over the top

    You will have to hunt around i found my one by surfing the net (found out they were a customer of mine )

    A lot of good quality paint workshops(ones that do custom painting) will do brake calipers not a cheap exercise but worth it

    was it difficult to pull apart all the sections you need to paint? then to clean and prime the parts?

    i was lucky that i was upgrading my brakes to larger discs/calipers so i had them all separate and at the painters while still driving the car with the old brakes

    But yeah pulling them off and cleaning would be a pain in rear end worth it for the result but time consuming
