Caliper Covers with Gemini Wheel Caps?

I found a place that painted the calipers and powder coat in a full day. Painting calipers were $300.

Isn't painting them MUCH more expensive? And, requires an overnight stay? This seems very convenient and, IMO, they look pretty nice.

What do you mean by power coat?

I got all 4 of my brake calipers painted for $250. Think about that.


And no. They basically dry right away. Guy that did mine literally came to my house and painted them in my driveway. Drove my car next day, 12 months later they still look brand new no chipping.
 
Painting calipers is a simple process. Find a you tube video, doesn’t mean you will do it yourself, but at least you’ll understand the simplicity of the process. Basically, lift the car, tires off, protect the car from paint spray with plastic and tape. Prepare the calipers for paint. Spray paint (need the right stuff). Spray again. Dry. Put labels on. Tires back on. Over 350 dollars is too much
