Default Painting Calipers

I've searched the thread and I've seen some DIY, but does anyone know where I can get my calipers painted? I'll probably buy the paint myself and possibly take it to someone to get it done.

Any referrals would be great. Thanks.

You can get it at your local Pep Boys, Auto Zone, O'Reilly's etc....and you can do your self pretty easy....make sure you caliper cleaner and spray and wipe them off...once completely dry you can paint them Make sure you block everything off so you don't spray inside your finder well...

Ah, thanks. I didn't know Tommy painted calipers also. I had him install my coilovers and he did an excellent job.
