Caliper refurb recommendations please!

[Paul_S]

I've a friend with a 350Z who wants their Brembo calipers stripped, rebuilt with new seals, etc and repainted back to OEM spec complete with Brembo logos.

Can anyone recommend a (UK-based) firm up to the job?

Thanks

I've heard good things about bigg red, although not used them myself.

 

[Mr.G]

I used Bigg Red in September 2021. That did a great job and price was reasonable.

Thanks all, I'll pass that on

The logo's wont be an issue as I have the font and we can easily get them cut in heat proof vinyl like I did for the Akebono logo on my calipers.

If he wanted them done in Cerakote I could do them.

Can you do gloss finishes with cerakote or is it always matte/satin?

 

[Ian]

The glossiest finish I can do is gloss black (Its on some of the calipers on my page) though the finish is more lime a semi gloss. For any other colour I can use cerakote ceramic clear to make them more glossy, though the gloss levels are still less than conventional paints. This is due to how thin the coatings are, but of course with cerakote you get the benefits of extreme chemical resistance, high wear resistance, high heat resistance and it won't chip.

So is that these ones? they look good! The left and right ones look glossier than the middle one, or is that just my imagination?

What would you charge for a pair of Z calipers?

 

[Ian]

You are correct, the outer ones are gloss black, the center is Graphite black which is a satin finish.

Calipers are usually from £38 per caliper + any service parts needed.

Nice one I'll DM you
