Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? No problem, check out the most commonly asked question below

Painting focuses purely on aesthetics — giving your calipers a fresh, high-temperature colour finish. Refurbishment, on the other hand, is a full mechanical overhaul, involving disassembly, cleaning, replacement of pistons and seals, and optional painting. If your calipers are seized, corroded or underperforming, refurbishment is the best option.

Typically 3 working days, depending on your vehicle and colour choice. We ensure proper prep, paint application and curing for a long-lasting finish. If you’re combining with other services (like a detail or PPF), timing can be adjusted accordingly.

Yes — we offer a wide range of OEM and custom colours, including gloss, satin and matte finishes. We also offer optional decals or logos for that final touch.

Absolutely. We use automotive-grade, high-temperature caliper paint systems that are resistant to discolouration, brake dust, corrosion and chips. The finish is durable enough for daily driving and spirited performance use.

Yes — our caliper refurbishment service includes full dismantling, shot blasting, internal part replacement (seals, pistons, sliders), and reassembly. We also pressure test calipers to ensure they’re safe and fully operational before reinstalling.

No — we handle all removal, painting/refurbishment, and refitting in-house at our Kent facility. If you’re a trade client or shipping calipers in, we also offer off-vehicle refurbishment options.

Not at all. If we’re only painting, your braking system remains untouched. If we’re refurbishing, we’re enhancing performance by replacing worn components, improving reliability and longevity.

With correct preparation and application, your caliper paint should last several years without peeling or fading. We recommend regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.

Definitely. We can custom-match your caliper colour to wheels, bodywork or trim accents. Just let us know what look you’re going for and we’ll advise on the best finish.

Yes — many clients include caliper painting or refurbishment within our Protection or Restoration services. It’s an excellent finishing touch alongside ceramic coatings, wheel refurbishment, or classic rebuilds.
