You can easily paint your own brake calipers if your inclined to give it a shot. A little bit of paint, some tape and paper to mask off things in case of over spray is all you need.

Sounds simple but you may also want to use a grinder to ensure the primer adheres properly to the metal. Also, spence tires in Toronto provides oem Tesla decals so it’s a full oem look as well as clear coat afterwards.
There is a difference between an at home job and professional.
Honestly, Spence Tire was so reasonably priced and did such a good job, if you are in the GTA (or even just passing through like I was), I don't know why you'd even bother trying to do it yourself. I'm 8 months in and my calipers still look perfect.

Awesome! Do you know how long it will take? I need to get this done as well. Looking forward to seeing how yours turn out!
Takes approx 1.5-2hrs with Spence 
Well worth the wait! Being a book or catch up on some online news.

Also, the outcome of that game was not the least bit surprising, lol.

Renewz in North Vancouver. That is where I had mine done. It took them about 3.5 hours. They do painting rather than powdercoating.
Does he have any other sized Tesla decals? This one seems a little big. I’m looking for something with smaller letters..

For those that have gone to Spence - I'm assuming they have the correct jacks to lift up the Tesla? Just reading on those now.

Went to Spence today and got mine done. Nice guy, easy going and takes pride in his work. The other guy working in his shop was great too. Here's few pics in an imgur gallery and one for show here . I really like the little "T" he adds as his signature.

Looks good. The lettering looks very different though. The spacing and font size are not the same.Went to Spence today and got mine done. Nice guy, easy going and takes pride in his work. The other guy working in his shop was great too. Here's few pics in an imgur gallery and one for show here

It's a little different but I like it. Spence shrank the rear decal as well since the calipers are smaller than the Model S

Great question - you'd have to call and ask - honestly - they are really great guys there. Open // honest and willing to work with anyone.
It's like a neighborhood shop type feel.
