High-temperature caliper paint in the colour of your choice, finished to stand up to brake heat.
Painted calipers are one of the quickest ways to lift the look of a car, especially behind open-spoke wheels. Each caliper is cleaned, degreased and masked, then coated in high-temperature paint designed for braking heat.
Red, yellow, gold, blue and black are available as standard. Want something to match your paint or wheels? Choose custom and tell us the colour in your booking notes.
It is one of the most affordable ways to make a car stand out. A bright red, yellow or blue caliper behind open-spoke alloys gives a performance look, and a fresh coat also hides the brown brake dust and surface rust that make older calipers look tired.
We remove the wheels, deep clean and degrease each caliper, and mask the discs, pads, bleed nipples and brake lines so nothing but the caliper body is painted. We then apply heat-resistant brake caliper paint in several coats and let it cure before the wheels go back on and are torqued to the correct setting.
Our standard colours are red, yellow, gold, blue and black, and custom colours are available on request. Pick a colour that contrasts with your wheels and bodywork, or match it to your interior stitching or badges for a subtle factory-style finish.
Yes. Only the outside of the caliper is painted, and the pistons, seals, pads and discs are never touched. Brake caliper paint is designed for the high temperatures of normal braking. Learn more about how disc brakes and calipers work.
If your alloys are scuffed, combine it with alloy wheel refurbishment in one visit, as the wheels are already off. Many customers also add window tinting for a complete look.
With proper preparation, the finish stays bright for years. The paint resists brake dust, road salt and normal wheel cleaners. Avoid strong acidic wheel cleaners and aim a pressure washer at the calipers from a distance. If a chip ever appears, it can be touched in without repainting the whole caliper.
Painting all four calipers usually takes most of a day, including drying time, so most customers drop the car off in the morning and collect it later that afternoon.
We paint calipers for drivers from Catford, Lewisham, Bellingham, Hither Green, Lee, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Beckenham and Bromley. Book caliper painting online or message us on WhatsApp with your car and colour.
The caliper painting cost is £120 for all four wheels.

Painted brake calipers are easy to care for: rinse off brake dust regularly and avoid harsh acidic cleaners.
