the shops in LA charge between 800 and 1200. It usually takes a week.

Is that including new seals or just the powdercoating?

OEM calipers are painted, not powder coated. If you call Brembo, they will tell you the same thing, paint not powder coat. Last year, I had mine completely stripped to bare metal, primed, and professionally repainted. I track my car and after 6 hard track days on R compounds they still look like new. The key to making the finish last is proper cooling. I have floating rotors, and cup car cooling ducts which helps. My previous calipers were powder coated and they turned from yellow to orange after one hard session. Powder coating is much thicker than paint and will trap more heat. I cost about $800 including shipping to get all 4 done.
