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.

Please Note:
Refurbishment Quality: Our service aims to restore the aesthetic appeal of your wheels. However, it's important to understand that refurbishment does not make the wheels new again. Some slight imperfections might remain, as the process involves repairing existing wheels rather than replacing them with new ones.
Additional Repairs: Wheels that are buckled may require additional straightening services at an extra cost. Similarly, cracked wheels might need welding, which would also incur additional charges.
Diamond Cutting: Wheels that undergo diamond cutting are provided with a six-month warranty. Due to the nature of this process, variations in the diamond cut pattern might occur, especially if the wheels were previously buckled. These variations could affect different parts of a single wheel or across multiple wheels. Whilst all efforts are made to make diamond cut refurbishments as close to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standard, the specific alloy wheel design may limit further CNC machining if deemed excessive by the operator. Furthermore, any previous refurbishments prior to our acceptance of the work will prevent the finish from being classified as an OEM finish.
Our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction with the refurbished wheels, recognising the limitations of the refurbishment process. This service is executed to the highest standards possible, within the constraints of existing wheel conditions.
