Holy smokes! Fabulous.

Did you do those yourself?

Tell me more, please!

What primer and what paint?

Those sure look like my Ferrari's calipers!

Great suggestion but I'll bet many would have complaints in one way or another!

I could certainly set-up to do this with powdercoating for Porsche and Ferrari but the caliper rebuild would have to be done individually or by another.

I can accept all major credit cards, can provide initial cores, etc.

If there is serious interest I will do so.

Have no idea.

I first have to investigate the whole cost of doing it.

With the fantastic quality of fastForward why not let them do it.

That's incredible!

Thanks,

First version is the factory finish where they are finished as factory leaving the hard-lines on the calipers during the process. 100

Second version is the factory finish removing the hard-lines and re-installing the hard-lines after the work is completed. 110

Third version is the factory finish, removing the hard-line, polishing the hard-line, re-installing the hard-line just before the clear coat stage. 125

Fourth version is the Diamond Coating seen on the caliper with the yellow pads. 162.50

Do I detect that you'd like to exchange one of your calipers for one of the models?
