Anyone have any experience with any f the various caliper refurb-ing companies out there?

Looking for a company to fully strip, re-furbish and re-paint (in non-standard colour) my AP calipers (6 pot front 4 pot rears).

Have tried contacting a couple and they don't seem to like replying so any recommendations welcome.

Possibly, though I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that if they did re-furbs it would be in their colour scheme only.

Well it is late in the evening.

Ive never had issue contacting them before....of course, as low tech as it is, there is always the phone.

Oh, absolutely, but when you are working at client site it is a heck of a lot easier to drop someone an email than to have a potentially lengthy and obviously non-work related call.

Also it was *much* earlier in the day when I emailed them ...

Ask to speak to Rob or Dave directly.

Have spoken to them but they can't do the colour I want.

Have found another company who will though.

Thanks for the suggestions.
