Caliper painting south yorkshire

[kendog91]

Can anyone recommend a company for caliper painting?

Atom in Sheffield seem good and charge £45 per corner, unfortunately they don't answer phones or emails.

Andrews alloys quoted £300, but then he mocked my current calipers when I said it sounded expensive, which compared to Atom is almost double in price!

FYI, I didn't paint the calipers, I bought the car like that.

Possibly is twice the price, but "Atom don't answer the phone or reply to emails" so what good are they. They might as well say its £1 per calliper

One of life's mysteries. They may be still shut due to covid or sold up shop. There is no information provided on their website to suggest otherwise.

I have put a list together, 2 cans of primer, 2 cans of yellow hi temp paint and 2 cans of hi temp laqure. Total would be £60. I have sandpaper, wire brush, paint stripper and brake cleaner in the garage.

I just don't want to f**k it up lol.

You have the advantage now , that if you run over a load of oranges (or people with an Essex spray tan) they won’t make a mess of the calipers

Each to their own of course, but on reflection I’ll stick with silver.

They was diamond cut rims, they had very bad milking under the laqure. Believe it or not they're only about a year old and was bought from CM wheels (aftermarket), I downgraded from 20" to 18" for comfort.. I decided to go with a 1 colour all round and decided that the black rim with an orange caliper would look the biz.
