Does anybody know of a firm in the south-east, preferably London or the Berkshire area, that paint brake calipers and will also "re-do" the manufacturers name/logo on them?

Verdi do a good job, logos included. £750 I believe.

LHW will also do it but want £3500.

There is a couple of guys in essex that will do a good job & are even cheaper if you can go that far.

I want mine painted yellow on the 360, but £750 seems a bit excessive to me! Does anyone know what sort of paint they'll need to use? I might just get my usual bodyshop guy to do it for me.

They will use a VHT paint, specifically for brakes/engines/etc, hammerite and radiator paint also works! Also there are kits for brakes by companies like foliatec.

I want mine orange, but bottled trying to do it myself, and didn't want it bad enough to pay £750... interested if anyone has any alternatives or recommendations!
