Pricing
All 4 Calipers & Hubs: £239
Time Required: 2-3 Hours including drying time.
Our Caliper Painting Service Includes:
Fully sanding down to remove all old paint and imperfections, followed by the application of etch primer. The calipers are then coated in multiple base coat layers of your choice and finished with 3 layers of heat resistant lacquer. There is no additional charge for custom mixed colours.
In addition to the calipers, the hubs are then sanded down and painted in a colour that complements your vehicle. Typically either satin black or bright wheel silver works well with most cars.
Stickers: +£15
Example: Audi RS, Tesla Logo, Ford RS Logo, Brembo Logo
Please Note:
If you only require the two front calipers, the cost is £199. Please note that while it may seem logical that the price would be half, for half the work, the time required for the job remains the same, 2-3 hours. If you don’t have a lift back to Sunderland, don’t worry! We have a comfortable waiting area and a huge selection of shops, food and retail close by.
We are confident that our prices are the most competitive in Team Valley.

Please don't mistake this service for a full caliper refurbishment; whilst we achieve extremely high quality results, we do the work with the calipers in situ. This is to ensure the safety of the brake calipers and pads is not compromised from the potential for human error when disassembling and reassembling brake components.
This doesn't reduce the quality of the finished product at all, as evidenced by the images above.
-
By far the most common colour chosen is Red. We don’t just use a normal RAL colour standard red though, we use Ferrari Rosso Red, simply beautiful.
Second most common is BMW Estoril Blue. This colour comes on BMW uprated calipers as standard, we have the perfect match too.
Third most common is Porsche acid green, great colour that stands out from a mile away! -
We recommend that you don’t wash your car for at least 3 days, to let the paint fully dry. We also recommend that you avoid any seriously heavy braking as excessive brake dust might bond with the paint easier than it would if the paint was fully dry.
-
Yes, no problem at all. We can get your vehicle booked back in, sand down the paint and repaint it any colour you wish.
-
For caliper painting, it doesn’t really matter how dirty your vehicle is. What we will say is though, your car may leave us a little dusty from the sanding, so please don’t clean your vehicle immediately before hand.
-
Yes, no problem at all.
The colour of your calipers makes no difference to an MOT at all.
