Painting Brake Calipers and Drums

Hi,

Does anyone have in sources to have this done in the Los Angeles area? I'm only finding do-it-yourself kits and I don't want to take the risks. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Painting

I know it's pretty simple but I'd just rather have someone with competent tools. Does it even come with a jack anyhow?!?! Or will any work?

Check your smart center

Check with your local smart center. Our local center does this for customers - I think between $200- $300.

Here is my post on how I did my own DIY brake caliper paint job.
